Antique Gabbeh, Southwest Persia, early twentieth centuryTiny animals in red green, blue, and apricot tones cavort across the striated tan and brown field of this charming little nomadic Gabbeh, like a tribal flock in the desert sand. Strikingly modern in its sense of design and color, the rug utilizes no framing border, allowing the imagery to function as a glimpse of limitless space and depth. The wool is lustrous, the pile thick and meaty, making the rug as tactile and physically sensuous as it is lovely to the eye.
