Antique Tabriz Persian Rug 42333

Antique Tabriz Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century - On this elegant antique Tabriz carpet from Persia, a small ogival medallion is set against a pattern of Botehs or paisley forms so finely worked that they become a kind of textured open field. Still, the botehs sway this way and that in alternating rows, imparting a gentle flowing rhythm to the overall design. A border of classical Persian cartouches maintains the coloration and texture of the field while varying the design.
