Playful Scenic Gabbeh | #250307A | 11' 7" x 14' 6"

This pictoral Gabbeh delights with a sense of quiet storytelling. Set against a wide, painterly blue field, tiny handwoven figures – goats, flocks and playful humans – are scattered across the surface. Each motif feels spontaneous and endearing, evoking a childlike wonder.

The border is a patchwork of soft reds, ochres, and abstract geometrics that frame the central expanse. It's this balance of simplicity and surprise that gives the rug its magic – an invitation to pause, look closer, and discover something new each time.

About Persian Pictorial Rugs

Persian Pictorial rugs are tribal and village weavings that depict figurative scenes — lions, birds, camels, horses, deer, goats, flocks, human figures, and the tree of life — rather than purely geometric or floral motifs. Woven mainly by Qashqai and other southwest Persian tribal weavers, each pictorial rug tells its own visual story, drawn from nature, folklore, and daily life. The bold, saturated color and hand-knotted wool give these pieces a spirited, painterly charm. Collectors prize pictorial rugs for their individuality and the storytelling character no two examples share.
