This Tabriz antique rug measures 9' 8" x 12' 4" and reads with a quietly aged palette of ivory, cream, and softened blue. The formal border of cartouches and rosettes frames a dense floral field, where the central drawing has gently dissolved into a layered, timeworn surface. Circa 1915 - 1945, its high distress brings out the atmospheric fading and muted contrast that define its character. The result is a Tabriz with visual depth, tactile softness, and an elegant restraint that feels both collected and lived with. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
