Tabriz / 11144

Tabriz 11' 0" x 15' 7" presents as an antique rug of quiet, considered presence. A finely balanced allover field of palmettes and arabesque vines arranges into a subtle medallion-lattice, framed by a generous floral border. The wool pile wears a mellow patina with medium distress, soft abrash and areas of subdued pile that reveal decades of use. Muted browns and warm gold highlights read like layered pigments on cloth, lending the surface tactile, timeworn depth. The composition is design-literate and restrained, rewarding close inspection of its drawn motifs and nuanced color shifts. Circa 1885 - 1915
