| Antique Tabriz, Persia, early twentieth century
A swirling array of fine, intersecting spiral vinescrolls and lush palmettes spreads with graceful poise across the rich terracotta field of this classic Persian Tabriz. A denser arabesque vinescroll makes up the main border, set against a deep blue ground, providing a rich contrast to the tonality of the field, while the fine detail and coloration of the various minor borders provide a transition between field and frame.
