Vintage Gabbeh Persian Square Rug in Gold with Horse Pictorial - Rug & Kilim

About the Item

This vintage 2x2 Persian Gabbeh square rug is the latest entry to Rug & Kilim’s curation of rare tribal pieces. Hand-knotted in wool circa 1950-1960. On the Design: This distinctive vintage Gabbeh rug features a bold and expressive depiction of a prancing horse, rendered in a striking silhouette against a rich golden ochre field. The central figure—a black horse with white accents and a green mane and tail—commands attention with its dynamic posture and stylized contours. The rug’s composition is both graphic and playful, emblematic of the imaginative spirit often found in tribal Gabbeh weaving. Despite its compact size, the piece has a commanding presence and is ideal for interiors that benefit from bold, idiosyncratic accents, with character and craftsmanship in equal measure. 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 Persian Gabbeh Rug
Located in New York, NY
A vintage Persian Gabbeh rug woven by the nomadic Qashqai tribe. This is definitely a conversational piece and one created for an artsy individual that can enjoy the quirkiness of vintage tribal rugs. Aside from the offset medallion and highly striated field ranging from brick to crimson red, the text reading "year 2536 (intended, most likely, for the year the rug was made)" is peculiar regardless if its source is from the Persian calendar (current year: 1397) or the Gregorian calendar (current year: 2018).
