About the Item

This magnificent oversized antique Persian Tabriz rug, dating back to the early 20th century, stands as a masterclass in craftsmanship, artistry, and scale. Hand-knotted in one of Iran's most renowned weaving centers, Tabriz, this exquisite carpet radiates elegance and sophistication through its meticulous detailing and stately composition. The field of the rug presents a regal terra-cotta or brick-red ground, richly adorned with an allover Herati pattern combined with Shah Abbasi floral motifs and stylized medallions. Distinctive palmettes, rosettes, and leafy vinery are interspersed throughout in harmonious symmetry, creating a mesmerizing visual rhythm that evokes the refined aesthetic of Persian court carpets. The delicate balance of colors-rust, soft ivory, camel, sapphire blue, pale celadon, and muted gold-enhances the design's layered complexity without overwhelming the senses. These subtle hues are rendered in fine wool, which has mellowed beautifully with age to create a warm, time-softened patina. A majestic series of borders frames the composition, anchored by a wide midnight-blue main border filled with dramatic palmettes and blossoming vines. Narrower guard stripes in ivory and beige feature geometric rosettes and petite floral elements, reinforcing the cohesion of the piece while adding structural clarity. The rug's precise weave and durable foundation, likely of cotton, reflect the high standards for which Tabriz carpets are known. Suitable for grand interiors, galleries, or historic homes, this piece serves equally as a functional floor covering and as a museum-caliber work of art. This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets-from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
