The Pictorial Lion Rug is a distinctive handwoven Gabbeh crafted by the Qashqai tribe from the Fars Province of Persia, dating between the 1970s and 1980s. Measuring 65 x 65 cm, this compact yet striking vintage rug features a rich tomato red background with natural 'abrash' colour variations, showcasing subtle stripes created by different batches of organic dyes and wool.
At the centre lies a sophisticated lion motif rendered in undyed wool, providing a bold contrast against the vibrant backdrop. The minimalistic border frames the design elegantly, making the rug suitable for display on floors or as a unique wall hanging. Made from pure wool on a strong wool foundation, this piece exemplifies traditional Persian tribal artistry and sustainable craftsmanship.
This rug is thick, solid, and preserved in excellent condition, making it a collectible item for enthusiasts of tribal and vintage rugs. It is one of a kind, although there is an identical pair available for separate purchase. Vegetable dyes and hand-spun wool contribute to its authenticity and natural aesthetic.
