Antique Persian Tabriz Carpet BB6481 12'10" × 18'0" $90,000

Antique Tabriz rugs are distinguished by their excellent execution and by their remarkable adherence to the classical traditions of antique Persian rug design. Due to the long existence of the weaving center and the fact that is has always been exposed to international trade, the creations from Tabriz are characterized by an incredible diversity of styles and colorations.

The antique Persian carpet before your eyes is a paragon of the venerable Tabriz craftsmanship. Its magnificent main field is covered in an allover yet not particularly dense botanical pattern, with elegantly combined vines, flower heads and palmettes. The main field is finished with a series of equally compelling borders, kept in the spirit of the main design, with both botanical and geometric motifs.

This utterly elegant composition is based on the properly balanced color palette, including camel, ivory beige, light brown, brick red, slate gray and indigo. As befits a creation from Tabriz, this antique carpet was masterfully hand-knotted of the finest wool in centuries-old weaving techniques by a skilled artisan, which allowed it to survive until this day in perfect condition. If properly cared for, the carpet will serve its owners for generations, bringing in the timeless elegance and warmth of the oriental weaving art.
