Early Tabriz Carpet

3.70 x 2.74 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.

Being an earlier piece, this c. 1890 Tabriz carpet boats a high-grade weave and hand-spun wool, with a well-balanced all-over drawing on an ivory ground, accented with gracefully aged vegetable-dyed colours, including grey, olive green, caramel, and sky blue accents - all framed by eight creative borders, well preserved on all sides. An open, restrained composition, which lends the work a feeling of harmony and balance, well suited to a modern interior.

Retained in very good condition for everyday use, its dyed have taken on a fine patina with age.

An understated carpet, which would feel at home in a wide variety of settings.
