Tabriz / 17931

This Tabriz antique rug in wool measures 9' 1" x 12' 4" and carries an allover composition softened by age. A warm field of coral, cream, and taupe supports repeating teardrop medallions, small floral sprays, and a disciplined border that frames the design with quiet precision. The surface shows medium distress, with faded passages and irregular tonal movement that add depth without losing clarity. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reads as refined and timeworn, with the balanced density and restrained palette often associated with Tabriz weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
