Old 'Lion' Gabbeh, Qashqa'i Tribes, Fars Province, South-west Iran.

1940 - 1960
Description

This charming old 'gabbeh' rug, made with vegetable dyes during the 1990s in Fars, south-west Iran, depicts the lion, a symbol of strength, power and virility.

The lion roamed the Zagros mountains in western Iran until the last carcas was found in the early 1950s.

Made under a vegetable-dye project amongst the Qashqa'i nomads in the 1980s/1990s, sadly this project, one of many, ended with the economic sanctions placed on Iran by western countries in the 2000s onwards.

This gabbeh is in full, lustrous pile and in great condition.

Size: 1.58m x 1.10m (5' 2" x 3' 7").

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.
