Finely Woven Earthy Brown Neutral Color Antique Persian Tabriz Medallion Rug 44043

Earthy Color And Finely Woven Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Late 19th Century – Among the rug-producing centers of Persia Tabriz has the oldest continuous weaving tradition reaching back a thousand years or more. This exquisite antique piece preserves the design and technique of the great masterpieces produced in Tabriz under the Safavid dynasty. At the center a golden quatrefoil medallion replete with arabesque detail hovers amidst a lush array of curling, leafy vines on a burgundy ground. Corner pieces of the same form and detail round out the field. A delicate palmette vine scroll border encloses the field, echoing the golden palette of the medallion and corner pieces. The drawing of the design is masterful, rivaling the finest classical Persian forerunners.
