Antique Gabbeh Rug 2.68m X 1.42m

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Rug Addiction
Description

An exceptional antique Gabbeh rug, handwoven by the nomadic Qashqai tribe circa 1900 with a geometrical design on a saffron yellow field and great secondary colours. Signed by the weaver, Galander Sed Gir. There are a couple of interesting elements within the design - the first is the way the diagonal design on the yellow field suddenly stops which would indicate that the weaver changed her mind whilst weaving the rug. The second is in the bottom left of the rug where the numbers ‘123’ are woven - no idea what this may signify but I would love to know what was going on in her mind! A fantastic example of tribal art and highly collectible.

Size: 2.68m x 1.42m (8ft 10in x 4ft 8in)

This rug is in good condition with light even wear, slightly heavier in a few small places (see photos). Fringes and selvedges are secure and it has been professionally cleaned.

Free Worldwide Shipping.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating from South-Western Persia, Gabbeh rugs are traditional nomadic floor coverings crafted by tribal weavers, renowned for their thick pile, abstract geometric panels, and bold folk art motifs.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun sheep wool on vertical or horizontal looms, coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes to ensure rich, resilient tones.

Genuine antique examples feature slight irregularities in the knotting and pattern symmetry, natural dye colour variations known as abrash, and soft, hand-spun wool foundations.

Lay this piece as a vibrant anchor in a living room paired with neutral timber furniture, or layer it over natural jute underlay in an eclectic interior to highlight its architectural panel motifs.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotary brush, blot spills immediately with clean water and mild soap, and consult a professional rug cleaner for periodic deep maintenance.
