This vintage Gabbeh rug features horizontal bands of stylized animal pictorials (likely deer or domesticated livestock) set around abstracted tree-of-life motifs.

A jagged border of bold triangles frames the composition, grounding the central imagery with geometric rhythm. What makes this piece especially captivating is its blend of rustic spontaneity and deep-rooted symbolism. Gabbeh rugs like this one were never made for export but woven for personal use, often as bedding or floor coverings, making each example an intimate window into the life and aesthetic values of its maker. A striking combination of folk narrative and abstract design, this rug makes a powerful statement in both traditional and modern interiors, celebrated for its authenticity, warmth, and rustic charm.
