About the Item

Hand-knotted in a luxurious blend of wool and silk, this 4x6 rug from the Modern Classics Collection is a bold, whimsical homage to the historical "Lion Rug" tradition. While inspired by the fierce, regal lions of Persian folk art, this piece reimagines the subject through a charming, contemporary Gabbeh lens, utilizing a vibrant and playful palette of coral-pink and golden-mustard. On the Design: A play of coral red, sandy gold and soft pink in a minimalist, folk-art repeat is quintessential to the storied "shir" rugs of the Ghashghai nomads. This modern pictorial rug centers on a monumental lion motif, rendered with an endearing, naïve simplicity that contrasts beautifully with its sophisticated materials. Keen eyes will further admire the subtle look of abrashed patina and striation within the coral field—an intricate and tasteful classic element of the Gabbeh style that lends even this more humble palette and pleasing repeat a subtle sense of movement within the hues. The inclusion of silk highlights within the lion's golden mane and the delicate corner blossoms provides a luminous, three-dimensional depth that distinguishes this new take on the style. Altogether it’s a piece as deeply personal in its subtext as it is in the details and beauties that distinguish it in our craft—both an exemplar of the Gabbeh-inspired pictorial style and a cozy, comfortable piece of versatile size and beauty for any space.
