Tabriz / 10111

A finely worked Tabriz in wool, 7' 10" x 14' 4", this antique rug reads as measured restraint and meticulous hand. A pronounced central medallion sits within a balanced field of repeating floral arabesques, framed by multiple floral guards and a refined main border. The palette is quietly restrained, cream and gold tones layered over a neutral ground, lending a tactile depth to the weave. Wear is modest and sympathetic to the piece, the surface showing soft abrash and a mellow glow from age. Circa 1900 - 1915, this Tabriz carries a heritage sensibility, an object of disciplined ornament and subtle craft.
