This vintage 3x5 Persian Gabbeh 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 is a brilliant specimen of rustic tribal artistry and showcases a bold, stylized depiction of a regal lion striding forward with commanding presence, its muscular and bright gold form outlined in red against a pitch black field. The beast's expressive snarl and wildly stylized mane evoke both movement and myth. This piece draws from Persian pictorial rug traditions, where animals are not merely decorative but imbued with protective and heroic significance. A rare and highly collectible piece, this lion rug is ideal for collectors and interiors that embrace iconography, striking contrasts, and storied craftsmanship.
Condition:
This vintage Gabbeh tribal rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin. It is a very collectible piece, ready for the floor.
