With varying designs and a fabulous border, this rug has a playful, yet sophisticated look.

1960's Colorful Persian Gabbeh Carpet with Modern Style
By Theo van Doesburg, Karl Benjamin
Located in Dallas, TX
61165 Vintage Persian Checkered Gabbeh Rug, 06'05 x 08'05. A mesmerizing fusion of tradition and modern artistry, this hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Gabbeh rug is a masterful composition of color, texture, and symbolism. Its captivating checkerboard design is more than a visual delight—it is a reflection of centuries-old nomadic weaving traditions, where each square holds meaning, and every hue tells a story. The richly abrashed field, infused with warm and cool tones, forms a rhythmic mosaic of alternating blocks, evoking the timeless beauty of handcrafted textiles passed down through generations.

This design, often seen in Gabbeh rugs, reflects the connection between the weaver and nature, as well as the belief in the cyclical renewal of life. Framed by a complementary border adorned with smaller geometric forms, the Gabbeh rug achieves a harmonious balance, reinforcing the sense of structure within its free-spirited composition. Echoing the bold experimentation of Cubism and the avant-garde principles of the Bauhaus movement, this Persian Gabbeh rug feels remarkably modern despite its traditional roots. The graphic color-blocking and play of contrasting shades draw inspiration from pioneering artists such as Karl Benjamin...
