About the Item
78074 Rare Antique Persian Gabbeh Rug Runner, 02'11 x 10'10. This hand-knotted wool antique Persian Gabbeh runner is a masterclass in understated luxury, a rare textile treasure that embodies the soul of tribal weaving with the sophistication of modern art. Its striking composition—broad vertical bands of deep midnight indigo, burnished terracotta red, and golden saffron—creates a bold yet serene visual rhythm. The natural abrash, formed through hand-spun wool and organic dyes, gives the surface a painterly depth, as if each stripe were brushed by an artist’s hand. In its simplicity lies its power, offering an experience of refined minimalism that resonates with the aesthetic of elite collectors and design connoisseurs.
The symbolism of this extraordinary Gabbeh runner transcends mere decoration. In Persian nomadic culture, such bold color fields often held spiritual and protective meanings: the deep indigo as a shield against misfortune, the fiery red as a symbol of life force and courage, and the golden saffron as a representation of prosperity and blessings. Every knot, every tonal shift tells a story of the weaver’s intimate connection with the natural world, making this piece not only a functional textile but also a vessel of cultural memory and symbolic value.
Scarcity enhances its allure—Gabbeh runners of this size, age, and impeccable color harmony are exceptionally rare. The antique patina reveals decades of history, adding to its authenticity and exclusivity. To own this precious masterpiece is to possess more than a beautiful object; it is to acquire a fragment of nomadic heritage, preserved through generations and now offered as an exquisite work of art for the discerning few who understand its cultural and aesthetic significance.
This exclusive textile transcends trends, making it a statement piece for the most sophisticated interiors. Perfect for a grand hallway, a minimalist loft, or a gallery-like space, it introduces warmth, texture, and a sense of cultivated prestige. For the elite collector, this Gabbeh runner is not just a rug—it is an heirloom, a symbol of refined taste, and a testament to the timeless artistry of Persian tribal weaving.

The Anatolian Amulet: A Vintage Turkish Oushak Runner of Modern Nobility
Located in Dallas, TX
50038 Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 02'06 X 11'11. Steeped in heritage yet radiating contemporary grace, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak runner is a triumph of restrained opulence. Its composition—anchored by a sequence of commanding hexagonal medallions—reveals a harmony between architectural precision and spiritual symbolism. Each signature medallion functions as a woven talisman, invoking both balance and protection, while its stepped edges suggest the ascending form of ancient ziggurats. This is a Turkish masterpiece designed not simply to adorn, but to elevate—to transform its surroundings into a passage of quiet grandeur and timeless sophistication.
The artistry is deeply rooted in Anatolia’s illustrious weaving legacy, where every motif carries a story and every symbol a purpose. Within the medallions, stylized amulets and scorpion motifs stand as ancient guardians against misfortune, their angular geometry expressing both strength and grace. The delicate bird forms woven between them serve as emblems of love and prosperity, softening the design’s rigor with lyrical balance. The interplay between geometry and spirit reflects the dual nature of Oushak artistry—regal yet human, refined yet elemental.
The precious rug’s texture adds another dimension to its allure. The hand-spun wool possesses a luminous sheen, responding to light with an almost silken subtlety. Variations in tonality and weave create a painterly effect, a sophisticated abrashed surface that whispers of age, authenticity, and tactility. Its surface exudes the calm richness of timeworn luxury—the kind of beauty that feels inherited rather than acquired. Each inch bears the trace of craftsmanship passed through generations, a legacy of skill refined to near perfection.
To own such an exquisite work of art is to possess more than a rug—it is to inherit an artifact of cultural resonance and aesthetic mastery. This exceptional Oushak runner speaks to those who appreciate the nuance of rarity and the poetry of design that transcends fashion. Whether gracing the corridor of a modern penthouse or the entryway of a heritage estate, it embodies an aura of cultivated prestige—an object of enduring beauty for the collector who values history woven into the fabric of modern life.
Rendered in variegated shades of camel, butterscotch, caramel, tan, sand, ecru, taupe, coffee, espresso, brown, peanut, and mocha with other neutral striations.
