Tabriz / 15698

This Tabriz antique rug in silk presents a softened formal composition, with a luminous central medallion, scrolling florals, and delicate border ornament. The palette moves through neutral ivory, blush pink, faded red, and muted sage, giving the whole surface a quiet, worn elegance. Its medium distress is visible in the gentle fading and relaxed edge character, which deepen the textile’s layered patina. Measuring 8' 6" x 11' 9", it carries the refined intricacy expected of a silk Tabriz, while retaining a light, airy presence. Circa 1900 - 1915. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
