Vintage Gabbeh Rug 153x102cm

Gabbeh rugs are celebrated for their whimsical charm and artistic freedom, and this exceptional example elevates that tradition with a rare and captivating leopard motif. Woven with fine-quality wool and using natural dyes, this piece stands out not just for its craftsmanship but for its sheer personality.

At the heart of the design is a stylised leopard, full of character, poised atop a chequered background that adds movement and playful contrast. The checker pattern, often symbolising life’s journey in tribal art, offers a bold yet balanced stage for the leopard, making it the undeniable focal point.

The wool is soft and luminous, and the colours—derived from traditional natural dyeing techniques—are vibrant yet warm, giving the rug a timeless, lived-in quality. The result is a truly special Gabbeh, blending storytelling, symbolism, and superb material quality.

This is the kind of rug that is more than decorative—it’s a collector’s piece, a conversation starter, and a future heirloom meant to be appreciated for generations.
