Antique Tabriz Medallion Hand-Knotted Rug BB9259 15'0" × 20'9"

This antique Persian Tabriz hand-knotted medallion rug reflects the refined weaving tradition of northwestern Persia, with a composition that has softened beautifully over time. Its formal structure and balanced drawing speak to the celebrated Tabriz workshop tradition, where elegant proportions and disciplined ornament are especially prized.

A light beige field provides the backdrop for warm taupe patterning and faint dusty rose accents, creating a quiet, timeworn palette with depth. At the center, a finely resolved medallion is surrounded by mirrored floral arabesques, scrolling vine work, and delicate allover motifs that appear almost etched into the surface. The border frames the design with layered foliate ornament, giving the rug a clear architectural presence despite its mellow patina.

This antique Oriental carpet offers versatility well beyond its historical roots: it can ground a formal salon, soften a contemporary interior, or lend warmth to a collected room with neutral furnishings. Its faded coloration and intricate medallion layout make it especially appealing for designers seeking a Persian rug with presence, texture, and enduring visual sophistication.
