Rare Gabbeh Fine Wool Rug
30 May 2018
Description

6 x 4, high pile, 100% wool. There are notes on the underside on tape that say "100% wool. very rare, Persia Tribal Gabbeh, fine wool, handmade" Then there is a number crossed out 1.800 000 with a symbol in front of it that I can't make out. The rug has a lovely weight to it, and rolls very nicely. No stains, or discolouration. Excellent condition. I would like to know the retail value of this? Is this considered vintage or antique, or neither? What decade is it from?
