Handmade Antique Bakhtiari Gabbeh Rug 1920s 218 x 152cm (7.2′ x 5.0′)

The surface is rich and tactile, with a deep, cushioned pile that feels generous underfoot. This thickness comes from the traditional Gabbeh weaving method, where extra wefts are packed between knots to create softness, insulation, and long-lasting strength. It is a rug designed for comfort first, beauty second, and longevity always.

The design is bold yet instinctive. A lively diamond medallion anchors the centre, filled with vibrant tribal colour and movement. Rather than repeating the same motif, the surrounding areas shift and change, revealing the weaver’s freedom of expression and personal rhythm. This variation is what makes the rug feel alive and individual rather than formal or symmetrical.

A soft ivory border frames the composition, allowing the colours to breathe and giving the rug balance without restraint. The wool has aged gracefully, developing a gentle sheen that only comes from time, use, and natural materials.

This is not a decorative reproduction. It is a functional artwork from the past, made with purpose, character, and care. Perfect for a bedroom, study, or sitting room, it brings warmth, texture, and a sense of grounded luxury into any space.
