359 - Persian Gabbeh hand-knotted wool pictorial rug, 20th century. The carpet with central field depicting five stags spaced among a coral-red ground. Border by a wide main stripe of teal, transitioning to pale green. With fringe along the upper and lower edge. Gabbeh (also spelled "Gebbah" or "Gabba") rugs are characterized by their lush wool piles, a quality reflected in the term itself, which translates to "unclipped" or "uncut." Originating from nomadic and tribal weavers in South West Persia and the Fars province of Iran, these carpets typically feature open central fields populated by modern and geometric designs or pictorial motifs, such as figures, animals, or trees. Length: 6 ft 5 in x width: 3 ft 2 in.
