Item Description
The city of Tabriz in Northwest Persia has long been known as a centre for Persian arts, culture, and literature, but especially for the quality of its carpets, with a tradition dating back as early as the 14th Century. Thanks to its location, incorporating influences from nearby Azerbaijan and Turkey, its weavings are among the most diverse of any city in Iran, and antique Tabriz carpets are especially distinguished by their tight weaves and close adherence to the traditions of Classical Persian rug weaving design.
This beautiful Early 20th Century example features a highly unusual sky blue field, with grand-scale all-over scrolling motifs in its drawing, rendered in a soft palette of natural dyed tones, including terracotta, sage green, muted bronze, and coral - all have taken on a mellow patina with age. The open, well-balanced central design is framed by an ivory border of great proportions.
Retained in very good practical condition for everyday use, with its outer borders preserved on all sides.
A timeless and highly decorative example, to suit a wide variety of interior styles.
