Connoisseurs will note the subtle, stylistically defined pictorial animal symbols, including deer, bird, and most uniquely serpent or dragon allusions mirrored on either side of the rustic blue and pink medallion pattern, offering a collectible and cultural appeal matched only by the richness of the red in juxtaposition to the more muted beige and blue hues. The refinement this Tabriz rug enjoys in this scale and curvilinear grace represents an ideal selection from this antique Persian rug family for those seeking a more transitional floral majesty; a rare beauty among the Antique & Vintage rug collection from Rug & Kilim.

Collectors may additionally note the pronounced islimi floral pattern relegated to the central medallion, as well as the context of the serpent and garden symbols as a veritable allusion to the Garden of Eden and adjacent theology known to be present among the more culturally attentive Tabriz rugs.

About the Collection: Antique rugs have been in Josh’s resume since he began in the industry almost 40 years ago when he was already recognized for one of the largest oriental rug collections in the United States. Each piece in the internationally recognized volume was hand picked for rarity, and of course aesthetic and beauty, now complementing one of the widest varieties of Persian rug and Turkish rug collections with the utmost attention to individuality and care. Because of Josh’s position in the wholesale rug industry he’s been responsible for promoting a number of collections throughout history, from breathtaking signature Tabriz, Sultanabad, Kerman Lavar, Agra, and Oushak classics to the more unsung jewels of the luxury industry.

Vintage has also been synonymous with who we are since our beginning, particularly for our unparalleled Kilim collection, but with the rise of Mid Century collection the term vintage carpet has become very popular—especially exciting because often times many of the vintage carpets have also been treated, washed, dyed over, sheared, and modified—and has created a very successful category. We’re especially very proud of our vintage Kilims and Turkish rugs curated for our expansive collection of both area rugs and runners alike.

Rug & Kilim maintains our own facilities for cleaning and restoration exclusively for carpets we’ve sold to ensure their lasting beauty and care long after a piece leaves our collection. See less
