Beautiful and Extremely Decorative Light Grey Blue Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, Country Of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1910 – This striking light-grey blue antique Persian Tabriz rug showcases a unified system of contrasting tones and forms to draw the viewer’s attention to the abundance of minuscule details abound within. Rich, deep cobalt tones stand out against sandy beige colors, cool sky blues and deep pomegranate reds. The antique Persian rug features attractive, natural movements in the curling vines and stems that lead the viewer across the rug’s details. Despite the airy elements and motifs, the piece is powerfully grounded within a rigid system of borders and frames, all of which feature their own contrasts not only in color but also shape and thickness. At the center of the antique rug is a beautiful sky blue field, giving the whimsical petals and flowers within the impression of them dancing upon thin air.
