About the Item

This vintage 6x8 Persian Gabbeh rug is the latest grand entry to Rug Kilim’s curation of iconic tribal pieces. Hand-knotted in wool circa 1950-1960. On the Design: This vintage Gabbeh rug is a striking example of tribal expressionism, radiating charm through its naive linework and bold, folkloric symbolism. At its center, an archaic rust colored lion stretches across a vibrant rich red open field—its stance regal, yet playfully rendered with dotted claws, exaggerated features, and whimsical proportions. The lion’s body is peppered with feather-like motifs, adding movement and personality to the composition in a way that feels both ancient and imaginative. Framed by a traditional beige border adorned with stylized rosettes, florals and patterns, the contrast between the classic and the quirky creates striking visual appeal. Small flower vases are staged in the border, hinting at themes of guardianship or mythic storytelling. Ideal as a focal point in eclectic or global-inspired interiors, this Gabbeh rug is as collectible as it is usable—an artifact of tribal artistry with a timeless presence and whimsical soul. Condition: This vintage Gabbeh tribal rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin. It is a very collectible piece, ready for the floor.

Vintage Qashqai Animal Rug, Red, Wool, Circa 1940s, 4’ x 6’
Located in New York, NY
This Persian Qashqai carpet circa 1940 was created using a wool warp, wool weft, hand-knotted pure wool pile and natural vegetable dyes. The central lion design is rather striking in the way it contrasts the carpet's red field, as well as in its detailed facial features. In Persian folklore, the lion symbolizes kingship, prestige, and the protection of sacred spaces. Its power is beautifully conveyed by the weaver of this piece, who created this carpet for ceremonious purpose. Taking a closer look at the border, one can see Qashqai villagers dancing in celebratory robes, indicating that this was likely woven as a wedding carpet...
