About the Item

This Mid-20th century Persian Gabbeh rug, measuring 1' 4" x 1' 7", embodies the raw creativity and bold abstraction for which Gabbeh weaving is celebrated. Originating from nomadic tribes of southern Persia, Gabbeh rugs often showcase spontaneous artistry, and this piece captures that spirit with striking originality. The design features a bold grid-like pattern in deep reds, oranges, blacks, and earthy tones, punctuated by a striking ivory field near the center. Within this lighter space, the presence of a prominent "F" motif in golden yellow adds a surprising and modernist touch, suggesting personal expression or tribal symbolism. The surrounding grid alternates between saturated hues and muted tones, giving the piece rhythm and depth. The composition conveys both playfulness and sophistication, aligning it with the mid-century appreciation for bold forms and expressive design. Compact in size, this Gabbeh serves as both a functional textile and an artistic statement, reflecting the individuality of its weaver.
