This late 19th century antique Persian Tabriz rug represents the refined artistic traditions of one of Iran’s most important weaving centers. The design features a harmonious and symmetrical composition anchored by an elegant central medallion, surrounded by delicately rendered floral motifs and intricate architectural elements.
The softly aged beige field creates a calm and understated foundation, allowing the finely detailed patterns to emerge with subtle sophistication rather than bold contrast. Gentle tonal variations in taupe, ivory, and sand reflect the use of natural dyes that have gracefully mellowed over time, contributing to the rug’s authentic antique character.
Hand knotted with high-quality wool on a stable cotton foundation, this Tabriz rug demonstrates precise workmanship and a fine knot structure typical of late 19th century production. The balanced layout and controlled detailing reflect both technical mastery and artistic restraint.
With its generous room-size proportions and timeless design, this antique Tabriz rug is ideal for formal living rooms, dining areas, or refined gathering spaces. Its quiet elegance, historical significance, and craftsmanship make it a distinguished piece for collectors and interiors that value heritage and enduring beauty.
