Vibrant Red-Rust Vintage Persian Geometric Gabbeh Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Vintage – Diamond shapes make up the majority of the design on this vintage Persian Gabbeh rug. Each one is a different size, with three large diamonds making up the vertical center of the overall piece in navy, ivory, and orange respectively. Around them is a scattering of smaller rhombus forms in teal, orange, and near-black. None line up, and the largest is placed slightly off-center. This apparent lack of strict planning is a classic characteristic in tribal designs. Instead, the composition employs a charming natural and intuitive sense of drawing.
The field’s depth comes from the varied scale manipulation of the visual design. The smaller shapes read as further away despite nothing being drawn in perspective. A heavy frame of ivory sawtooth against navy and vibrant orange closes in the composition.
At 3 ft 7 in by 5 ft 11 in it sits among the 4 x 6 size rugs and is bold enough to be the only pattern in a room. Strong red throughout the rug makes the piece an attention grabber. Moreover, scale can be reworked for a bigger floor as a custom rug.
