Antique Persian Tabriz Floral Design Blue Handmade Wool Rug BB7490 8'9" × 12'3" $60,000

Tabriz rugs are perhaps the most famous of all Persian carpets. Due to the fact that this renowned weaving center is one of the oldest in the world, the range of its designs is wide and the workmanship – refined.

This early 20th century Tabriz rug from Northwest Persia features one of the most classic Tabriz designs (botanical) yet with a twist. Its midnight blue field carries an unusual overall panel of borderless rectangular groupings of condensed floral motifs and birds within a camel stylized palmette and vinery border.

The antique rug was carefully hand-knotted out of wool in accordance with traditional techniques. If properly maintained, this Oriental rug will withstand years of usage without any signs of wear, bringing in the recherché charm of Persian artistry.
