Beautiful Tribal Design Persian Shabby Chic Vintage Gabbeh Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rug, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century – True to many other splendid Persian tribal Gabbeh rugs, this one uses a great deal of lines and strong points of contrast and contact to establish the scene within. Through the bright collection of colors, an elegant palette defines the vintage Persian rug, resulting in an attractive arrangement, where no single part seems to draw too much attention away from any other. Several frames encompass each other, leading the viewer from the edges of the rug to the core, the journey defined by the presence of attractive diamonds and triangles. These angular figures help ground the pale yellows, rich blacks, elegant reds and gentle blues used skillfully throughout the vintage rug. At the core of this beautiful shabby chic rug, a stunning pomegranate shape set the scene, its lighter interior standing as the perfect background to the variety of darker elements that stand out at the forefront.
