Rust-Colored Vintage Persian Tribal Gabbeh Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Vintage – A single large ivory hexagon-like shape takes up nearly the whole field on this vintage Persian Gabbeh rug. It is stepped at the edges in navy with a smaller diamond outline and a green motif at its center. The rust ground serves to encapsulate the forms as a margin. Throughout the field are stylized figures of animals and other geometric shapes.
The placement of the figures are indicative of the classic tribal rug composition, in which designs are intuitive and unplanned. They cluster where there is room for them, and thin out where there is not, differing in sizes.
At 3 ft 10 in by 5 ft 3 in it is a small rug with a great deal to look at, and the warm rust provides a gentle atmosphere. The medallion can be redrawn at any size as a custom rug.
