This magnificent Tabriz rug from Persia exemplifies the refined artistry and technical excellence that has made Tabriz one of the world’s most celebrated rug-weaving centers. With nearly 400 days of skilled handwork invested in its creation, this rug represents an exceptional blend of traditional craftsmanship and enduring beauty.
Design & Composition
Unlike medallion-centered designs, this Tabriz showcases an exquisite all-over floral pattern that creates a harmonious tapestry of botanical forms across the entire field. Graceful curving vines sweep across the rich crimson ground, bearing elaborate palmettes, lotus blossoms, feathery leaves, and delicate flower heads. The symmetrical composition creates a sense of balanced elegance, with each quadrant mirroring its counterpart in a dance of organic forms.
A central rosette motif anchors the design, surrounded by the flowing arabesques that define classical Persian aesthetics. The wide ivory border continues the floral theme with bold, scrolling palmettes and blossoms that provide beautiful contrast against the deep red field. Multiple guard borders in complementary tones frame the composition with refined precision.
Color Palette
The palette embodies classic Persian luxury: a deep, saturated crimson red field provides the perfect canvas for the intricate floral work rendered in ivory, cream, navy blue, soft pink, olive green, and warm brown tones. The ivory main border creates striking contrast while maintaining overall harmony. These rich, well-saturated colors reflect quality dyeing techniques that ensure lasting vibrancy.
Craftsmanship
Hand-knotted with exceptional precision at approximately 169 KPSI (knots per square inch), this rug required nearly 3,500 hours of skilled artisan labor to complete. The high-pile construction (1/2″ to 5/8″) creates a luxuriously plush feel underfoot, while the quality wool on cotton foundation ensures both beauty and durability. The supple hand and excellent drape, visible when the rug is folded, demonstrate superior construction.
Styling Possibilities
At 8’4″ x 11’6″, this generous rug anchors large living rooms, formal dining rooms, master bedrooms, or executive offices with timeless elegance. The classic red and ivory palette complements traditional, formal, and transitional interiors, pairing beautifully with rich wood furniture, antiques, and luxurious fabrics.
Condition
Excellent condition, professionally washed. This rug is essentially new and ready to become the centerpiece of any distinguished interior.
Each rug is one-of-a-kind. A true investment piece and future heirloom
