Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century – Impressive in its style, scale and intricate level of detail, this outstanding antique Tabriz rug features a lavish quatrefoil medallion that is flanked by decorative pendants and ornamental spandrels that reflect the graceful contours of the central medallion. The somber midnight blue field is decorated with an enrapturing network of sinuous vine scrolls and exquisite botanical motifs. Bifurcated calyxes, richly detailed florets and dramatic Shah Abbas palmettes with poly chromatic accents meander across the solid midnight blue field creating a vivacious backdrop. Minute guard bands, secondary borders dotted with serpentine cloud bands and grand main borders adorned with ovoid leaflets and dainty floral sprays conclude the opulent composition of this regal antique Tabriz rug.
