Tabriz rugs from the early 20th century are celebrated for their fine knotting, luxurious wool pile, and sophisticated floral designs influenced by classical Persian court carpets. Natural dyes produce the warm red ground and harmonious accents that develop a refined patina over time. This room-size example’s detailed central and corner medallions, along with its great condition, highlight the superior craftsmanship typical of high-quality Tabriz weavings.
Perfect for medium to large living rooms, dining areas, or family spaces where it can anchor furniture groupings. The terracotta-red field with blue and green details brings warmth and sophistication, pairing beautifully with wood floors and traditional or classic decor. Its wool pile on cotton foundation offers plush comfort and exceptional durability for regular use.
