On the Design:

This charming vintage Gabbeh rug captures the spirit of tribal life through its rich symbolism and folk-art motifs. Set against a heavily striated grey field, three large red lozenges dominate the composition, each adorned with stylized depictions of animals, trees, and abstract tribal forms. Scattered whimsical figures—including goats, birds, and geometric flora—tell a visual story of pastoral life, deeply rooted in nomadic culture. Framed by a lively red, blue, and ivory border with a serrated zigzag edge, the almost childlike rendering of its elements reflects the hallmark of authentic Gabbeh artistry—freedom of expression and a deep connection to nature. Perfect as a statement piece, this rug adds warmth, personality, and cultural depth to any living space. A beautiful testament to tribal tradition, it invites the eye to explore its layered narrative.

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
