Tabriz / 11991

A quietly worn Tabriz in soft neutral and brown tones, woven in wool and reduced by time to a whisper of pattern. The field reads as a faded lattice of floral medallions and arabesque vines, while layered guard borders retain remnants of cream and white florals. High distress has softened edges and opened the pile, revealing an intimate, tactile surface that reads as patina rather than damage. This antique rug balances fragile clarity and faded ornament; its palette and wear suggest long use and quiet refinement. Circa 1900 - 1920. Size 8' 11" x 12' 11".
