Antique Tabriz Rug, Persia, 1920 — The stunning artistry and extraordinary intricacy of this magnificent antique carpet come together to form an astonishingly beautiful work of art. Woven by hand in Tabriz, recognized as the capital of antique Persian carpet production for thousands of years, this stunning piece is a marvelous and inexpressibly lovely artistic statement. This antique rug begins with a narrow frame patterned with bright, playful red and rich gold, swiftly followed by a border patterned with brilliantly colored blossoms. This gives way to a crimson frame of finely detailed intricacy, featuring a marvelous pattern dominated by the peony motif, long considered a symbol of power. A contrasting border of blue and light gold follows, framing the achingly lovely heart of this magnificent piece. Soft gold-tinged cream provides the base, an ideal background for the magnificent design. Breathtakingly intricate, the pattern features brightly rendered, densely detailed peonies, lilies, chrysanthemums, and stars. Orange, red, deep blues, soft pinks and gentle blue create a beautiful interplay of color, bringing each tiny detail to flawless clarity. Interlocking vines and blossoms connect the intricate pattern to a larger whole, creating a magnificent sense of floral geometry and an ethereal degree of realism. Elegant and breathtaking, this singular piece is a truly spectacular work of art.
