About the Item

This magnificent 5x5 Modern Classic Pictorial rug is a graphic, narrative work of art, hand-knotted in a blend of wool and silk. It features the large silhouette of a lion filled with abstract geometric patterns and framed by a bold checkerboard border. On the Design: This striking rug, a new jewel in our Modern Classics collection, is a pictorial work of art that commands attention with its graphic simplicity and complex interior life. Its design is directly inspired by antique Persian rugs of Gabbeh craft—one of the most unique and archaic primitivist weaving styles, known in particular among nomadic tribal rugs for their bold pictorial designs like this silhouette of a lion. Crafted from a dense, hand-knotted blend of wool and luminous silk, the design captures the essence of a powerful animal silhouette against a soft, neutral ground. The oversized lion motif, rendered in deep charcoal and black, is filled not with solid color, but with a mesmerizing, internal pattern of abstract tribal diamonds and maze-like geometry. The subtle shimmer of the silk highlights this internal pattern, creating an illusion of depth and movement within the static form. This piece marks a significant moment, as it is the first introduction of silk to this traditional Gabbeh design. The silk lends a whole new luminous complement to this gorgeous work of folk art, transforming its character. The lion is anchored by a wide, striking checkerboard border in black and tan, which frames the scene with graphic precision. It is a sophisticated fusion of ancient symbolism and contemporary luxury, offering an undeniably artistic foundation for modern interiors.
