Antique Tabriz Persian Rug 2904

Antique Tabriz Rug, Persia, circa 1900 - The precisely geometric, almost austere elegance of the open field format on this regal Tabriz is enlivened by the fine, exquisitely detailed Herati patterning of the concentric medallions and cornerpieces. The larger, sweeping forms and rhythms of the arabesque border effectively balance and contrast with the miniature geometry of the Herati fillers on the field, just as its cinnamon ground counterpoints the pale champagne ground of the field.
