Vintage Gabbeh Persian Runner Rug, Blue with Animal Pictorials - Rug & Kilim

About the Item

This vintage 3x7 Persian Gabbeh runner rug is the latest grand entry to Rug & Kilim’s curation of rare 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 lion stretches across a vibrant cerulean-blue 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 red border adorned with stylized rosettes and stars, the contrast between the classic and the quirky creates striking visual appeal. Small birds float around the lion, 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.
