Antique Tabriz Persian Rug 41757

Antique Tabriz Rug, Persia, circa 1900 - Form and color converge in a symphony of tan and blue on this magnificent little antique Tabriz. From a distance, the primary impression is dark against light. Upon closer view a delicate, unifying tracery of flowers and stems spreads across the whole surface, interrupted only by the outlines of bold, star-like medallions and the borders. The sparing but effective touches of terracotta add a subtle accent to the overall chiaroscuro.
