On the Design:

A symphony of color and symbolism, this vintage Gabbeh rug captures the soul of nomadic artistry with its breathtaking intricacy and rhythm. At its heart lies a field of tightly-arranged star medallions—each a geometric bloom of crimson red, blue, and orange—repeating rhythmically across a deep indigo field. The dense patterning recalls ancient talismanic symbols, believed to ward off misfortune and bring balance, while simultaneously mesmerizing the eye with its hypnotic precision. The rug is framed by a series of exuberant borders, each more animated than the last: from playful zigzag motifs to botanical vines winding around the edge in whimsical procession. Brimming with color and cultural vitality, this piece channels the heart of nomadic tradition while exuding a bold, decorative power that feels timeless.
