Ornate latticework patterns formed by interwoven vine-scrolls decorate the warm earth-tone field of this elegant antique Persian rug from Tabriz. Primary and secondary shapes formed by interlocking tile patterns, branching petioles and delicate floral sprays adorn the earth-tone field.

Subdued walnut brown borders decorated with sinuous vine-scrolls and reciprocating turtle motifs enclose the richly colored field. Woven in Tabriz during the 1900s, this sophisticated antique rug features a handsome combination of earth-tone colors, including walnut brown, burnt sienna, ivory and Persian blue.
The use of a consistent color throughout the borders and main field of the rug gives it a unified feeling. In addition, the artist chose to repeat some of the motifs in the field with the rug within the border, only in a contrasting color. This provides further unity in the design of the carpet.
The carpet uses a tiled, repeating motif that is consistent throughout the field and border of the carpet.
