A charming and expressive Gabbeh rug featuring a noble lion reclining against a variegated undyed wool ground. The weaver has rendered the lion with remarkable character, its attentive gaze, full rust-colored mane, and softly contoured form exude both strength and warmth. The natural variation of the background wool creates subtle tonal movement, beautifully complementing the handspun texture and earthy palette.
Gabbeh rugs are known for their spontaneity and narrative imagery. This example celebrates the lion, a timeless symbol of courage and protection, interpreted through a distinctly folk-modern lens.
Handwoven wool pile on wool foundation. In excellent condition with a dense, velvety surface and soft handle. A delightful fusion of storytelling, craftsmanship, and contemporary appeal.
