Antique Tabriz Persian Rug 42082
Antique Persian rugs like this lovely antique Persian Tabriz rug rarely capture the precise detail and coloration of classical forerunners so effectively.
Antique Tabriz Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century – Nineteenth century antique Persian rugs generally derive from the designs of classical Persian carpets from several centuries earlier, but rarely do they capture the precise detail and coloration of such classical forerunners, as this lovely antique Tabriz does. The field consists of a monumental pattern of interlacing strap work arabesques in shades of green, apricot, and red against a deep tan ground with sprays of smaller flowers as minor detail. The border adapts the strap work arabesques to a longitudinal format and sets them against a warm apricot ground that beautifully complements the coloration of the field.
