Minimalist Persian Gabbeh Rug, Circa 1910, 2.59m X 1.31m

1900 - 1920

Sold by Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs

Description

The Luri are an ancient nomadic tribe who migrated in southern Persian until the early 20th century. Gabbehs were usually woven for domestic use, and very primarily used as bedding rugs or blankets due to their high wool quality and thick nap. Very few have survived in good condition. This excellent example has wonderful colouring and the typically reduced ornamentation seen in gabbehs, but it have survived very well. Note the light blue abrashed field and the interesting cruciforms in the medallions. Cherished by collectors, gabbehs as attractive as this piece are also highly decorative and can work extremely well in contemporary settings.
