This Persian Tabriz rug features a classic central medallion with intricate layered arabesques and palmettes, surrounded by dense floral vines and delicate blossoms that fill the red field. Symmetrical corner spandrels mirror the center motif, while wide borders contain repeating floral garlands, geometric elements, and small guard borders in navy and ivory tones. The fine knotting and subtle color variations create a balanced, elegant composition with timeless appeal.
Tabriz rugs from northwest Iran are renowned for their high knot density and precise craftsmanship, often drawing from classical Persian designs with refined curvilinear patterns. Vintage and semi-antique pieces like this one use premium wool and natural dyes that age beautifully, developing rich patina while maintaining structural integrity. The result is a rug that combines artistic detail with practical longevity.
A 7×9 rug fits medium living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas for six to eight people, anchoring seating or tables with refined warmth. The brick red field adds cozy energy, while the navy borders provide grounding contrast against wood floors or light walls. Wool offers natural softness, durability, and easy spot cleaning for everyday use.
