This vintage 5×6 Persian rug is a rare mid-century Gabbeh piece that originates from the Qashqai tribe. Hand-knotted in wool circa 1950-1960, its design plays medallion and all-over pattern style together in a bold tribal fashion. The upper medallion hosts a pictorial that resembles a goat or ram—an uncommon feature only select tribal provenances enjoy. Keen eyes will further admire how the field plays all the colors together in a meticulous way—rich brown, teal, burgundy and countless others—a meticulous feat that exemplifies the personal beauty in Persian rugs. Connoisseurs will admire this as a rich piece of Persian folk art, teeming with old-world charm and bold beauty. Pictorial rugs with animals like this are extremely collectible, as few remain today and each is a one-of-a-kind treasure. Even so, this is among the most unique we've seen in this style in its sheer number of colors and details alone. This mid-century Persian tribal rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. It’s ready for the floor, and equally ideal for wall-hanging projects, too.
