Item Description
Antique Tabriz Accent Rug
1.82 x 1.38 m
The city of Tabriz in Northwest Persia has long been known as a centre for Persian arts, culture, and literature, but especially for the quality of its carpets, with a tradition dating back as early as the 14th Century. Thanks to its location, incorporating influences from nearby Azerbaijan and Turkey, its weavings are among the most diverse of any city in Persia, and antique Tabriz carpets are especially distinguished by their impressive artistry and close adherence to the traditions of Classical Persian rug weaving design.
This fine early 20th Century example features grand-scale scrolling motifs, usually found in much larger Ziegler Mahal carpets, over a rare muted ocean blue-grey field, in tones of tan and red ochre. The surrounding decorative border has been woven with a wonderful abrash - or, variation in tone - which lends the work a sense of depth and charm, mingling shades of red and muted saffron.
Retained in good practical condition for everyday use, with a characterful patina - its vegetable dyed have aged wonderfully, and add a real feeling of warmth to the carpet's colours.
A striking yet understated accent rug, with the versatility to suit a wide variety of settings.
