About the Item

A captivating example of early 20th-century Persian textile artistry, this antique Tabriz runner fragment exemplifies the refined aesthetics and craftsmanship of the famed Tabriz weaving tradition. Hand-knotted in Persia circa 1920, the rug features a delicate allover design rendered in a soothing, patinated palette of sky blue, ivory, soft camel, taupe, and subtle notes of terracotta. The central field is adorned with an intricate Herati-inspired pattern composed of paisley motifs, rosettes, stylized floral elements, and abstract leaves-all arranged in rhythmic symmetry. The paisleys and florals are loosely spaced, allowing the pale blue ground to shine through, giving the piece an ethereal, almost watercolor-like quality. Framing the composition is a narrow border composed of repeating octagonal medallions and rosettes set against a warm, muted terracotta ground. This framing anchors the delicate inner design while offering a gentle contrast in color and geometry. The rug's worn patina and abrash (natural color variations) reflect its age and authenticity, enhancing its vintage charm. Though a fragment, it retains remarkable structural integrity and decorative appeal, making it ideal for use in hallways, narrow transitional spaces, or as a statement wall textile. This Tabriz runner is not only a beautiful artifact of Persian weaving heritage but also a versatile design element for both classic and contemporary interiors. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau's curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
