The Persian Lion Gabbeh is a vintage handwoven rug from the Abadeh region of Iran, measuring 1.47 by 1.03 metres. Crafted circa 1970 by skilled tribal artisans, this Gabbeh features a striking lion motif set against an ivory field, surrounded by geometric shapes, traditional symbols and abstract patterns. Earthy tones of brown, charcoal, muted red and sage enrich the design, while an intricate traditional border frames the composition, blending tribal Persian artistry with modern abstraction.
Made from pure wool on a durable cotton foundation, the rug is dyed using vegetable dyes, reflecting authentic Persian methods. This piece is a rare collectible, representing the craftsmanship and cultural heritage of Abadeh Gabbeh rugs. Its compact size makes it suitable for adding character to smaller spaces or as part of a curated vintage collection.
Each rug undergoes careful restoration, including washing and repairs when necessary, preserving its unique texture and colour variations that are natural to vintage textiles.
