This vintage 5x7 Gabbeh Persian rug joins the latest entries in Rug & Kilim’s rare tribal curations. Hand-knotted in wool circa 1950-1960.On the Design:This tribal provenance is one of the most primitive, and collectible shabby-chic styles in handmade nomadic rugs. Exceptional Gabbehs like this are known for their thick, lush pile, rich colors and archaic geometric patterns. This design enjoys a gray background, and emphasis on rich brown medallion patterns in a simple, yet comfortable lozenge style. Keen eyes will admire the lustrous wool and finely detailed field and border, both a triumph for the works we know of this provenance. An exemplar of classic charm and folk art as much as a handmade rug with versatile size and vast design applications. Further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
