Antique Gabbeh Persian Rug 16499

Antique Gabbeh, Southwest Persia, early twentieth century

A free form design of rectangles and stripes in striated tones of blue, red, mauve, and green constitutes the field of this charmingly modern antique Gabbeh. The border is no more than a thin edge stripe in shades of cocoa. The design is simple, yet powerful, allowing the beauty of the color and the luster of the wool to carry the overall effect.
