Beautiful Vintage Persian Gabbeh Diamond-Pattern Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Vintage – Four diamonds sit on a red field, but they are not four separate shapes. Each are instead surrounded by the same ivory stepped outline, encasing them as one design form. Within the diamonds lies an orange cross ringed in navy.
Reading it as a chain rather than a column changes what would be a static composition into a dynamic one. Nothing sits still, and the eye is pushed from one end to the other instead of stopping at a center. The frame is layered, both in color and in form.
At 4 ft by 5 ft 11 in it sits squarely in the 4 x 6 size rugs, with warm tones throughout and a visually traditional tribal rug drawing. The chain can be lengthened to fit a room as a custom rug.
