{"product_id":"11249-10x14-persian-handmade-gabbeh-vintage-rug","title":"11249 - Persian Gabbeh Oversized Rug 10'2\" x 13'10\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eTall bands of brown and seal brown run the whole length of this remarkable rug. On a stone field, stripes of seal brown and gray brown rise from end to end, their edges stepped where they break and meet. There is no medallion, and the stripes themselves make the plan. A splendid column of dark brown squares hangs near the top, and low on one side a rectangle holds alternating bands of seal brown and gray brown. Fine dark lines and short dashes run between the wider stripes. A handsome seal brown border, narrow and plain, frames the field on all four sides. The pile is low and runs unbroken over the whole face. It slips into a quiet modern room, with the stone ground keeping it light and the seal brown giving it weight. At 10'2\" by 13'10\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art owns a gabbeh of the late 19th century, which came to it with the Ballard Collection in 1922. Some early rugs of the Lur and Qashqai tribes of Fars were lion rugs, the whole field taken up by one large lion. Gabbeh is a style rather than a place: tribal weaving from the Zagros country of southern Persia. A field of one or two colors may carry a stylized animal or a few blocks. This rug keeps a stone field and sets a few blocks on it: a column of dark brown squares near the top and a banded rectangle low on one side. Around them, long stripes of seal brown and gray brown run from end to end, broken into steps where they meet. A narrow seal brown band closes the whole design at the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed \u0026amp; cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Storied Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68030750490937,"sku":"AL_11249_311x422","price":5200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11249_1.jpg?v=1794192159","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11249-10x14-persian-handmade-gabbeh-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
