Rare Antique Bakhtiari Gabbeh Rug 1920s 232 x 132cm (7.6′ x 4.3′)

This rare antique Bakhtiari Gabbeh rug dates to the early 20th century and reflects the raw, expressive character that makes Gabbeh pieces so sought after. The design is bold and instinctive, with strong tribal geometry and a warm rose and yellow palette that feels both relaxed and confident. The thick wool pile gives the rug a soft, cushioned feel, while the simple layout keeps it visually calm and easy to place. Subtle medallion elements and geometric forms add interest without crowding the design, making it suitable for both lived-in spaces and curated interiors. Its compact size works well in a sitting room, reading area, or child’s room, where comfort and warmth matter. The rug has aged well and remains practical for everyday use, while still holding clear decorative value. This is a genuine Gabbeh made for use, honest, durable, and full of character. A strong choice for those who value authenticity over perfection.
