Vintage Gabbeh Geometric Beige Brown Wool Persian Rug – Medallion Style 10853

Hand knotted in wool originating from Persia circa 1950-1960, this vintage midcentury Persian rug hails from the Gabbeh tribal weavers of renown, enjoying a play of color and pattern complementing the classic sense of movement this geometric diamond pattern enjoys. The rich and warm variations of beige and brown move in a seamless fashion with the diamond medallion pattern, playing atop the abrashed field background for a grand sense of dimensionality complementing the similar ease of the ram’s horn border motifs—a venerated tribal symbol widely believed to signify themes of strength, protection, and fertility through varied cultural interpretations. Similarly, the presence of multiple diamonds in Persian rugs has been known in some interpretations to signify love and union adjacent to Moroccan and Turkish rug subtexts, lending an additional level of sophistication and cultural appeal matched only by the lush, sheen pile this piece enjoys; further boasting only mild wear consistent with the age of this vintage rug.
