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. Six stylized lion-like figures, alternating in hues of red, orange, charcoal gray, and beige, parade across a striated field composed of gray and taupe tones. Each animal pictorial features a mask-like face—part totem, part guardian—conveying a strong folkloric presence. The entire composition is framed by a vibrant red border adorned with stylized motifs, grounding the piece in the natural world that inspired it. Ideal for eclectic interiors or spaces seeking a touch of whimsy and warmth, this gift-sized Gabbeh rug is an heirloom-quality artifact with enduring charm and collectibility.

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
