A Magnificently Sophisticated Antique Sky Blue Color Background Persian Tabriz Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Antique Persian Rugs, Circa Date: 1910 – Sophisticated, opulent and impeccably styled, this antique Persian Tabriz carpet embodies a traditional model of elegance with its fluid curvilinear style, endless vine scrolls and softly oxidized colors. Buttery ochre yellows and softly oxidized blues create a harmonious visage that is balanced by the cool blue field and decidedly warm golden-yellow frame. This enduring, chic color palette is paired with classical Indo-Persian vine scrolls and endless arabesques that also embody a traditional standard of elegance. Serpentine cloud bands, Shah Abbasi palmettes and tender millefleur sprays are linked by fluid vine scrolls that unite these classically beautiful designs that were beloved by Safavid and Mughal shahs before they were adopted by fashionable citizens in the West. Exceptional symmetry, superfluous designs, soft colors and outstanding reciprocating elements give this antique Tabriz carpet an indelibly elegant visage.

Reflections of a moonlit summer garden in full bloom grace the field of this antique Persian Tabriz carpet. Produced around 1910, this beautiful antique carpet reflects a softness in design and color that is characteristic of the master carpet weavers of Tabriz. A splendid array of floral elements brings this elegant antique Persian rug to life, offering a glimpse into the serenity of the palace gardens of the Persian Empire.

This truly remarkable antique Persian rug features asymmetrical design of Shah Abbas palmettes that is focused around a central motif. This element is used stylistically in the same manner as one would typically find a medallion, only the medallion is not present. This has the effect of drawing the eyes outward to the edges of the carpet, rather than focusing the attention on the center. This artistic treatment of the design creates a sense of space that is enhanced by the size of the motifs in comparison to the overall size of the rug.

The intricacy of the design is another element that reflects the artistry and skill that went into making it. This classic rug design is versatile and would make a magnificent addition to a traditional design and architectural elements that are on a grand scale. The floral elements use shades of brown and rusty red that both add contrast, yet are harmonious with the dark blue background.

This beautiful antique Persian Tabriz rug invites you to take a stroll in the garden on a moonlit night and imagine the smell of Jasmine floating on the breeze. It is a beautiful antique room size rug that would be the perfect addition to add a hint of sophistication and elegance to the interior design of almost any decorating approach. Its soft and sophisticated elegance speaks volumes about the Persian rug weaver who created this absolutely breathtaking work of textile art.
