Only 1 in stock
Set on a soft cream ground, the design centres around two stylised lions, symbols of strength and protection in Bakhtiari culture. Unusually, these lions are rendered with a gentle, almost playful presence, giving the rug a warm and approachable spirit. Between them, delicate birds add balance and a sense of calm, creating a narrative that feels both symbolic and whimsical.
The composition is framed by a bold zigzag tribal border in earthy tones, grounding the design while enhancing its visual rhythm. Woven from handspun wool using traditional flatweave techniques, the texture is tactile and honest, with subtle irregularities that speak to its handmade origin.
Perfect for a child’s room, a relaxed living space, or as a decorative wall piece, this Bakhtiari Gabbeh is not just a rug but a piece of folk art. Its rarity, symbolic imagery, and expressive design make it especially appealing to collectors and those seeking something truly individual.
