Tabriz is a traditional carpet weaving center that goes back to the Safavid Dynasty. Some of the most artistic creations in the world of carpets originate in Tabriz, such as this exquisite example.

This antique carpet uses a simple, natural color palette in shades of brown with delicate blue accents. The carpet is designed to resemble the formal gardens that once graced the courtyards of palaces. Each section features a tree that has special symbolism. For instance, you can see the tall, elegant cypress tree which stands for serenity and rebirth. The weeping willow, pear tree, and other important symbolic plants can be found throughout the garden. Several of the symbols in the carpet are not often seen, such as the iris and various types of fruit found throughout the design. Birds in the trees sing about fertility, abundance, and faith.

A calligraphic Kufic script can be seen in the borders between the four quadrants of the design. Several of the panels feature vases overflowing with flowers and plants. It is a formal piece that is meant to convey abundance and prosperity. The ability to include the designs with such clarity points to a high knot count and an artist of incredible skill. The carpet is rich with symbolism throughout.

This is a spectacular Persian rug for many reasons. It is a beautiful piece that would make an excellent addition to any fine collection. Pieces such as this are becoming extremely rare. This piece shows the centuries-old talent and skill of the Tabriz designers and weavers. It is a remarkable piece and would be the pinnacle of any collection.
