Vintage Persian Gabbeh Pictorial Rug

No. 12256
Persia, 1940
5 ft. 8 in. x 9 ft. 5 in.
(1.71 x 2.85 m)

A vintage Persian Gabbeh pictorial rug. The otherwise undecorated blue-black field displays a fierce, tawny, standing lion facing right. The lion rug is a favorite of Qashghai weavers who took their images from WWI British Army blankets. The ivory border connects funky red and teal flowers with a stiff “vine”. The graphic contrast of light lion and dark background is notably striking.
