Tabriz / 16790

This silk Tabriz antique rug in a 9' 0" x 13' 0" scale presents a formal panelled composition with a central medallion cross, floral borders, and a quietly layered field. The palette has softened into beige, faded red, and muted blue-grey, with traces of blush and ivory still visible beneath the wash of age. High distress has mellowed the drawing and blurred the pattern in a way that feels deliberate and atmospheric. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the delicate sheen and restrained elegance often sought in a Tabriz of this type.
