Antique Persian Sickle Leaf Tabriz Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Early 20th Century

 

The dark blue border is bracketed by light blue band guards simply ornamented with small rosettes of pink and mustard that complement the colors in the medallions. Light-colored sickle leaves and palmettes juxtaposed against the dark blue border accentuate the interplay of light and dark. The tips of the sickle leaves point toward the outer edge of the carpet, adding to the sense of movement.
