Persian Tabriz Rug, Persia, Contemporary – This spectacular rug from Tabriz features a masterfully rendered interior scene full of vibrant colors and luminous afternoon light that creates dimensional shadows and a dreamy veil of sunlit overtones. Ornamental rosettes bookend both ends of the field replacing the need for formal borders and guard bands. This elegant rug features a stunning painterly effect with photographic realism and background objects that tell a story through the smallest details. In the foreground of this Tabriz Persian rug, open books, stacked manuscripts and a resting hookah reveal subtle details about the scholarly gentlemen and his female companion. The rug-covered floor, draping curtains, tiled walls and decorative background objects showcase the skill and finesse needed to recreate three-dimensional shapes, detailed background patterns and the dimensional depth of fluid textiles.
