This antique circa 1920 Tabriz rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind Persian carpet with a finely drawn all-over lattice of floral boteh-like motifs in a softly weathered turquoise and ivory palette. Its hand-knotted wool pile, intricate floral guard borders, and broad blue outer frame create a refined balance of geometric order and delicate ornament. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining area, or bedroom.
Faded cool tones of turquoise, ivory, coral, crimson, taupe, slate, peach, and charcoal, with a turquoise field.
Tabriz is the capital of the Turkish speaking Persian Azerbaijan, situated in North Western Iran. Under control of the Suljuk’s in the thirteenth century, it was not until the fifteenth century that Tabriz had a real weaving tradition. By the sixteenth century Tabriz was a major weaving area. It was at this time Tabriz weavers introduced curvilinear designs to the courts in Istanbul. As in many major rug weaving centers production declined for a few hundred years until the mid nineteenth century when Tabriz began re-establishing itself as a major center for the export of Persian rugs. Tabriz weavers are excellent craftsmen and have a reputation for producing exceptional rugs whether they be silk or wool.
