This vintage Gabbeh Shiraz tribal rug features a glowing and rich ivory field that's balanced by deep brown geometric motifs. Handwoven in Southern Persia using high-quality, vegetable-dyed wool, it is a durable and beautifully weighted rug that's stood the test of nearly 90 years. Despite its age, it remains in great condition, ready to add warmth and character to any space.
The design is anchored by a central column of tribal motifs, each with its own story. The primary motif is a series of bold, geometric medallions, possibly symbolic of protection or strength, lined up to create a visually stunning pathway down the rug. Framing the medallions are interconnected diamond shapes that may represent unity or a connection to nature, reflecting the Gabbeh tradition of using simple yet meaningful designs. The border is woven with smaller, repeating geometric patterns that enhance the earthy, authentic feel of this piece.
This Gabbeh Shiraz rug combines amazing tribal artistry with a natural color palette, making it a versatile choice for modern and traditional interiors alike. It's not just a rug; it’s a piece of Persian heritage that brings warmth, history, and a touch of the handmade to your home.
