Gorgeous Primitive Vintage Tribal Persian Gabbeh Rug, Country of origin: Persia, Circa date: Vintage
This vintage tribal Persian Gabbeh rug depicts primitive figural elements indicative of its authentic and traditional style. The term “Gabbeh” means “cut” or “raw” in Persian, a term that is in full effect here with its rudimentary, but uniquely human touch. They are traditionally handwoven and display didactic graphic imagery with an emphasis on color use. The high pile technique used here adds a comfortable textured element that differentiates itself from flatweave styles also common in Persian rugs.
A framing of colorful and expressive geometric linear accents add a dynamic rhythm to an otherwise static piece. Its lovely ivory base creates a wonderful contrast that brings its strong design to the foreground. The highly personal motifs lend itself well to the art of storytelling commonly found in pieces created by nomadic peoples, making this rich in culture and heritage. Buyers who appreciate this look may also want to explore tribal rugs and geometric rugs.
With their soft wool material and homey, earthy value, these rugs are perfect for domestic settings. Regardless, its eclectic nature makes for an easily adaptable feature for a variety of spaces.
