About the Item

61071 Vintage Persian Gabbeh Rug with Checkerboard Design, 03'10 x 07'03. Neutral earth-tone Persian Gabbeh rugs represent a traditional style known for their simplicity, thick pile, and earthy color palette, typically including tones like beige, cream, black, brown, and gray. The term "Gabbeh" derives from Persian, meaning raw or uncut, indicating their tribal roots and utilization of high-quality, hand-spun wool. These rugs seamlessly integrate into diverse interior design themes with their adaptable aesthetic, often featuring tribal designs such as geometric motifs, stylized flora and fauna, or abstract patterns, highlighting the intricate craftsmanship and deep cultural legacy of Persian rug-making tradition. In this hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Gabbeh rug, the fusion of Midcentury Modern and Cubist style creates a captivating aesthetic. The eye-catching checkered pattern and neutral earth-tone colors seamlessly blend to evoke a classic Mid-Mod look with a contemporary twist. Featuring a composition characterized by a checkerboard design of alternating gray and black-coffee squares, this Gabbeh rug exudes a sense of geometric sophistication. Amidst the bold checkered motif, thin beige perpendicular lines intersect, adding layers of visual intrigue and depth to the piece. Furthermore, the Persian rug's design is framed with small-scaled alternating beige and black blocks, reminiscent of the barley motif, a symbol of abundance and fertility. A lively solid red guard band encloses the piece, providing it with definition and a feeling of structured cohesion. This Cubist-inspired element not only enhances the rug's visual appeal but also adds cultural and symbolic significance to its overall narrative. The combination of geometric precision and organic symbolism creates a dynamic interplay between tradition and modernity, making this vintage Persian Gabbeh rug a timeless and versatile addition to any space. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and expert craftsmanship, this vintage Gabbeh rug not only serves as a functional floor covering but also as a work of art that seamlessly integrates into various interior design styles. Whether placed in a Midcentury Modern living room or a contemporary Cubist-inspired space, this Gabbeh rug stands as a testament to the enduring allure of Persian rug-making tradition while embracing the innovative spirit of modern design. Rendered in variegated shades of espresso, dark brown, black coffee, greige, taupe, cedar, slate gray, beige, smoke, umber, ash, and rhino with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 03'10 x 07'03. Date: 1960s. Mid-20th Century.
