Vintage Persian Gabbeh Tribal Geometric Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Vintage –Â Three columns divide the ivory field of this vintage Persian Gabbeh rug. The outer two are plain brown diamonds, five to a side, outlined in a thin red line and filled with nothing at all. Between them runs a narrower column of small, ornate, symmetrical winged figures drawn far more finely than anything flanking them, colored in red, navy, gold, and ivory.
Setting the decoration in the middle and leaving the sides bare is a deliberate order of precedence. It leads the eye straight down the center and only afterwards registers the brown shapes holding it in place. Small curved marks drift along both outer edges, and two tiny animals stand at the foot.
At 3 ft 9 in by 6 ft 3 in the pale ivory ground keeps it light despite the detail, and it falls within the 4 x 6 size rugs. This particular piece perfectly exemplifies an accomplished tribal rug drawing. The three-column plan can be widened as a custom rug.
