Vintage Persian Gabbeh Rug, Tribal Geometric Patterns in Beige and Blue -10485

Описание: This vintage 4x6 Persian Gabbeh rug is the latest grand entry to Rug & Kilim’s curation of iconic tribal pieces. Hand-knotted in wool circa 1950-1960.

On the Design:

This piece represents a masterful intersection of nomadic folk art and mid-century minimalism, leaning into the bold, graphic sensibilities that have made Gabbeh designs a staple for modern collectors. The central ivory field establishes a prayer niche format, punctuated by a series of stacked diamond medallions rendered in soft terracotta, sand, and sky blue tones. These medallions feature internal geometric subdivisions and cruciform extensions that create a rhythmic vertical emphasis across the field.

The composition pulses with a naturalistic fluidity, featuring small geometric "protector" symbols and zoomorphic motifs—elements fundamental to tribal cosmological symbolism, often interpreted as stylized spirits intended to bring luck to the home. Historically, Gabbeh rugs were the "experimental" canvases of nomadic Ghashghai and Luri artisans, characterized by their thicker pile and spontaneous, painterly compositions that predated modern abstract art. The border design employs a reciprocal sawtooth pattern, framed by guard borders with alternating color blocks that create a subtle optical vibration against the primary neutral ground. It is a cinematic contribution to our vintage gallery, capturing the rugged beauty and timeless functionality of 20th-century Persian weaving.
