Tabriz / 18782

This Tabriz antique rug measures 9' 6" x 14' 0" and carries a richly worked allover field of small floral forms set within layered borders. The palette reads as navy, indigo, ivory, camel, taupe, muted rust, and grey, softened by time into a calm, atmospheric surface. Medium distress is visible throughout, with broad fading, abrasion, and softened outlines that lend depth to the pattern. Circa 1890 - 1905, it reflects the measured intricacy and disciplined ornament associated with Tabriz weaving, while retaining an easy, lived-in tactility. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
