Vintage Afghan Gabbah Rug 4' x 2'6"

$347 $462

Size: 4 x 2.6 ft.

Origin: Afghanistan

Circa: 1980s

Material: Pure Wool

This vintage Afghan Gabbeh rug, handwoven from soft wool, features a minimalist design with a muted red field subtly variegated by abrash, giving it depth and character. A single, small central medallion in darker tones anchors the composition, while the wide border—rich in deep crimson and earthy hues—displays a faint, worn geometric pattern softened by time and use. The rug’s understated elegance and gentle patina reflect the Gabbeh tradition’s focus on simplicity, texture, and natural dye variations, making it a warm and versatile accent for both modern and traditional spaces.

Authentic vintage and antique Afghan rugs are hand-knotted with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to these rugs' handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.

Our rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. In addition, we advise using a rug pad with a grip back to keep your rug in position and to smooth out any wrinkles from shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your carpet from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your rug.

Our rugs are professionally cleaned.

It’s 1990 all over again!

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
