About the Item
Breathtaking Roaring Geometry Vintage Tribal Lion Gabbeh Rug in Fiery Red, Country of Origin: Persian, Circa Date: Vintage
This striking vintage tribal rug features a central, abstracted lion motif rendered in bold geometric forms against a rich red field. The lion symbolizes strength and protection - traits revered in many tribal weaving cultures.
Surrounding the central figure, the field bursts with symbolic elements - stylized humans, birds, ladders, and talismanic shapes. These motifs come from an oral visual language passed down through generations. The design underscores this piece’s kinship with the broader category of animal rugs, where creature imagery acts as both decoration and spiritual emblem.
The rug also fits squarely within the world of tribal rugs, recognized for their saturated colors, bold geometry, and densely packed iconography. These small weavings are seldom mass-produced; each one bears the imprint of its weaver’s creative and cultural heritage.
A deeper exploration of these symbols is available in Nazmiyal’s guide to rug motifs and symbols, which explains how common shapes - such as birds or ladders - tell stories of protection, fertility, and everyday life.
Offered by the Nazmiyal Collection, this rug resides at the intersection of folklore and art. It invites viewers to explore a woven narrative of tribal memory and myth - encapsulated in vivid geometry and bold color.

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...
