Intricately hand-knotted by skilled artisans, it features a harmonious palette of tan, baby blue, green, ivory, rust, and red, with navy and baby blue borders that frame the composition with visual coherence.

The geometric format gives this piece a bold, modern energy that translates beautifully in contemporary interiors while retaining the technical refinement and material quality of the great Tabriz workshop tradition. Tabriz, the ancient capital of Persian Azerbaijan and one of the great trading cities of the Silk Road, has been a center of carpet weaving for centuries. The city's workshops produce rugs of extraordinary technical precision and design sophistication — ranging from the classical floral medallion compositions of the great 19th century masters to the bold geometric and Mahi patterns for which Tabriz is equally celebrated. Tabriz rugs are among the most recognized and sought-after Persian carpets in the world.
