Hand-knotted in wool circa 1900-1910, this 12x18 antique Persian Tabriz rug is a rare and regal new curation from the Rug & Kilim Collection, featuring floral patterns and medallion in colorful tones.
On the Design
Admirers of Persian weaving will appreciate that this pattern draws some inspiration from the works of Tabriz master weaver Hadji Jalili, though its colors are very different from his works. This piece’s play of medallion and all over pattern style, rendered with exceptional finesse, demonstrates one of the highest levels of urban workshop artistry through its attention to scale and detail—especially for this large size. Design scholars will note the sophisticated interplay between the midnight blue outer border—populated with delicate Herati motifs in coral and ivory—and the central medallion's subtle colorway of sage green and salmon pink. The piece's architectural presence is heightened by the clever use of negative space in the ivory tones, while the measured placement of small floral sprays creates depth through carefully orchestrated layers. The refined palette and precise execution of the arabesque details speak to the renowned Tabriz workshop's mastery of both color theory and technical precision. This is an exemplary traditional piece, with more of a vibrancy than many found among Persian city rugs and Oriental rugs alike in the modern day.
Condition:
This antique Persian Tabriz rug further enjoys good condition for its age and lineage—a rare and collectible piece of history for both designer and connoisseur alike. less
