Antique Gabbeh Rug, Persia, early twentieth century
Horizontal bands of stylized birds and bushes in brown and shades of red or orange are spaced rhythmically across the deeply abrashed or striated tan ground of this charming little antique Persian Gabbeh. Simple geometric motifs alternate irregularly with the birds and bushes, adding a touch of unpredictable charm to this little gem of tribal weaving. The soft, earth-tone coloration makes this an excellent decorative accent piece in addition to its collector appeal.
