A vibrant Bakhtiari Gabbeh runner featuring a bold, vertically oriented composition of stepped medallions and compartmentalized motifs set against a richly saturated field. The design balances structure and spontaneity, with geometric forms, stylized flora, and small expressive elements rendered in a lively, intuitive manner.
Woven in wool with a supple pile, the rug displays a dynamic palette of coral, indigo, saffron, teal, and ivory. The drawing is direct yet controlled, reflecting the intersection of Bakhtiari village weaving traditions with the more expressive, informal qualities associated with Gabbeh.
The borders frame the composition with repeating geometric elements, while subtle abrash and irregularities throughout highlight its handwoven character and individual sensibility.
A highly decorative and energetic example that makes a big impact.
