Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, Country Of origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1900 – This beautiful antique rug — an antique Tabriz woven in Persian sometime around the turn of the twentieth century — is a splendid example of the majesty woven into the finest antique Persian rugs. Though woven in Tabriz, the field of this magnificent carpet has a grand, sweeping palmette design that is reminiscent of classical Kerman design styles, with a smaller bouquet border of similar origin. The soft, beautiful coloration of the carpet, however, with its pale apricots, goldenrod, and pale slatey blues departs from the vibrant palette of classical Kerman rugs. Instead it is supremely cool and decorative, and therefore well suited to contemporary taste and use. A masterful blending of the finest aesthetic traditions in antique Persian rug design, this Tabriz is not to be missed — it is something genuinely special, even in the world of antique Persian rugs, where almost every piece is a treasure.
