Vintage Handmade Persian Gabbeh Rug – 180 × 145 cm (5 ft 11 in × 4 ft 9 in)
Authentic Handmade Tribal Gabbeh • Fine Lamb’s Wool • Beautiful Natural Abrash • Excellent Condition
This beautiful vintage handmade Persian Gabbeh rug is an outstanding example of authentic tribal weaving, celebrated for its minimalist beauty, luxurious wool and timeless craftsmanship. Hand knotted approximately 20–30 years ago, the rug remains in excellent condition and offers both exceptional durability and contemporary style.
Measuring 180 × 145 cm (approximately 5 ft 11 in × 4 ft 9 in), this versatile rug is ideal for a living room, bedroom, study, reading area or modern apartment.
The rich denim-blue field is decorated with charming traditional tribal motifs, including the iconic small animal figures that are characteristic of genuine Persian Gabbeh rugs. The subtle abrash (natural variation in colour) across the field gives the rug wonderful depth and individuality, making every piece completely unique. Minimalist in design yet full of character, this rug blends beautifully with both modern and traditional interiors.
Hand knotted using fine lamb’s wool on a wool foundation, the rug has a luxuriously soft, thick handle while remaining highly durable. It has been professionally hand washed and is clean, fresh and ready for immediate use or display.
