Tabriz / 16850

This Tabriz antique rug in wool measures 9' 10" x 13' 3" and carries the quiet depth of a well-aged weave. The field shows an allover floral repeat with medallion-like rhythm, framed by a vivid red border and finer floral guard borders. Layers of neutral, red, and brown have softened into a hazy, luminous surface, with visible wear that lends the piece its worn-in character. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reads as both structured and atmospheric, balancing formal design with time-worn softness. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
