On the Design:

This vintage Gabbeh rug is a brilliant specimen of rustic tribal artistry, echoing the heritage of nomadic weavers through its primitive symbolism and playful spirit. Two stylized lions dominate the field with their bold, angular forms—each rendered in a deep, earthy brown with naive charm and expressive features. Their manes, whimsically adorned with streaks of beige, feel both ancient and oddly animated, imbuing the piece with a folkloric personality. Set against a soft, beige field, the lions are flanked by rows of small birds in orange, ochre, and brown tones, arranged in rhythmic procession. These feathered companions—each simplified to geometric motifs—contribute a lively sense of narrative, almost like illustrations from a tribal storybook. Ideal for eclectic interiors or spaces seeking a touch of whimsy and warmth, this Gabbeh rug is an heirloom-quality artifact with enduring charm and collectibility.

Condition:

This vintage Gabbeh tribal rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin. It is a very collectible piece, ready for the floor. See less
