On the Design:

This vintage Gabbeh runner rug features graceful rows of stylized birds symmetrically flanking a central vertical axis of floral elements. Each bird is depicted with intricate plumage in rich earthy tones of terracotta red, taupe, brown, and cream set against a warm, muted tan field. The rhythmic repetition of the birds creates a sense of harmony and gentle movement, as if they are perched on invisible branches. Framing the scene is a decorative border of interlocking geometric diamonds in shades of red, black, cream, and brown. These geometric accents provide a structured contrast to the organic curves of the birds, lending the piece timeless tribal elegance. This rug would serve as a striking centerpiece in a serene living space, study, or gallery-style room with an appreciation for folkloric and naturalistic art.

Condition:

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