Antique Gabbeh Persian Rug 15630

Antique Gabbeh Rug, Persia, early twentieth century

Large diamonds framed by small squares in various colors make up the design of this antique Persian Gabbeh. Set against an abrashed or striated cool tan ground, the composition is strikingly spare and modern. The neutral tones of the field set off the saturated colors of the diamonds and squares to great effect.
