On the Design:

This vintage Gabbeh rug features a graceful vertical procession of four stylized horses, each depicted in profile with a distinct color palette and expressive line work that captures their spirited nature. Each horse is rendered in shades of cocoa brown and beige atop a taupe field. These carefully varied tones create a harmonious gradient while evoking themes of freedom, vitality, and continuity. Framing the central imagery is a narrow border in dark brown, punctuated with repeating diamond motifs in cream hues—an elegant contrast that enhances the verticality and folk-art charm of the piece. Rooted in pastoral storytelling and tribal aesthetics, this rug is perfect for collectors, designers, or anyone drawn to pieces that balance beauty with visual narrative, and offers timeless appeal and artisanal authenticity.
