Tabriz / 10435

A refined Tabriz rendered in a soft neutral and gold range, this wool antique rug carries the quiet character of long use and careful mending. An allover palmette-and-medallion lattice sits within a pronounced floral vine border; motifs are softened by even fading that reveals warm cream and ivory grounds beneath the design. The wool pile shows medium distress and subtle abrash, lending a tactile, low-relief surface that reads both luminous and muted. At 9' 2" x 11' 10", the composition balances scale and restraint with an aged patina that feels immediate and lived-in. Circa 1900 - 1920.
