Tabriz / 17818

This Tabriz antique rug in wool measures 11' 5" x 13' 0" and carries a richly worked allover floral field softened by age. A deep red ground is animated by faded blue, ivory, teal, and soft gold ornament, while the border frames the composition with scrolling vine detail and small repeating motifs. The surface shows medium distress, with visible fading and abrasion that lend it a lived-in clarity. Circa 1930 - 1945, it reflects the layered elegance and delicate density often associated with Tabriz weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
