Fine Antique Blue Sickle Leaf Design Persian Tabriz Rug 44618

Fine Antique Tabriz Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Early 20th Century – Antique Tabriz carpets like this descend from the oldest continuous tradition of rug weaving in Persia, but they seldom come this close to the forerunners that inspired them. Here an allover design of ‘flame’ and ‘sickle’ palmettes in a wide array of rich colors repeats majestically across a dramatic blue-black field. The border of halved cartouches preserves the scale and color scheme of the field, to achieve a stunning overall visual unity, while its differing design provides just the right amount of contrast. A true Tabriz masterpiece.
