About the Item

This vintage 3x6 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 features vertically aligned medallions—rendered in weathered shades of blue, beige, rust—form a striking visual axis that anchors the composition with ancestral gravitas. Each shape pulses with geometric intensity, evoking protective emblems, sacred enclosures, and elemental harmony. The beige background—alive with subtle tonal shifts—infuses the piece with a living patina, bearing the gentle erosion of time and use. Borders here are richly articulated with animal and glyph-like motifs, stylized in abstract repetition, suggesting folkloric narrative. Zigzag edgework and stepped forms introduce a kinetic rhythm, while the muted palette offers a rare balance between clarity and quietude. More than a decorative object, this Gabbeh is a tactile relic of nomadic identity—woven with instinct, memory, and myth. Its irregularities are not imperfections but signatures of a life lived. A prized find for collectors & connoisseurs of tribal textiles, it carries not only visual warmth but also the enduring voice of Persian cultural heritage. Condition: This vintage Gabbeh tribal runner enjoys good condition for its age and origin. It is a very collectible piece, ready for the floor.

Vintage Moroccan Blue Kilim Rug with Geometric Border and Two Diamond Lozenges
Located in Morristown, NJ
Antique early 20th century Moroccan Kilim rug, with two central diamond medallions, made in simple flat-woven or tapestry technique, in which the pattern is produced by horizontal wefts that cover the vertical warps. The ground is a denim blue color with browns, greens, beiges, pinks and blues woven into the border decoration and diamond medallions. The desire for the ‘exotic’ rug family in Western culture played no small part in the entrance of Moroccan style to the world stage and the gradual western influence on the style we see today. Given their thinner, supple structure, Kilim rugs are usable not only as decorative floor covering, but also as wall hangings and on furniture or bed coverlets...
