Closely spaced boteh motifs create a dazzling allover pattern that decorates the exquisite midnight blue field of this sophisticated antique rug from Tabriz.

Fine Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, Country of Origin:  Persia, Circa Date: 1900 – Woven in Tabriz, this elegant antique carpet features a classical allover pattern rendered in a reserved combination of golden-yellow, earthy brown and midnight blue. Wide borders and multiple sets of blue-gray guardbands decorated with reciprocating vinescrolls add levity to the overall composition. Golden-yellow main borders decorated with small-scale background patterns, bifurcated tendrils and exaggerated details contrast the strongly colored field. Prominent borders become a dominant part of the overall composition while linking the golden-yellow boteh motifs that are set over the obscure midnight blue field. Wide borders decorated with bold floral designs counterbalance the beautiful boteh-motif field and accentuate the substantial composition. This striking antique rug from Tabriz features a reserved allover pattern and restrained colors that have become cornerstones of contemporary elegance.
