The design features a bold, inverse medallion set against a unique blush and warm taupe field, lending the piece a striking, high-contrast elegance.

On the Design:

This rug is a vision of faded opulence, where the grand design of a Persian court carpet whispers across the aged fibers.

Rooted in the high traditions of Tabriz weaving, its architecture is defined by a strong, centralized medallion and majestic corner spandrels, where the pattern's traditional complexity has been beautifully preserved yet softened by time.

The palette is a poetic composition of earth and light, featuring a captivating field of soft, sun-kissed blush-pink and warm desert taupe.

Against this unique, gentle backdrop, the luminous framework of the design—the inner medallion and the surrounding border—emerges in ethereal ivory and cool, grounding gray.

The core medallion, almost a ghost of its former self, floats vividly at the center, its detailed finery etched in pale light.

Admirers of the craft will appreciate how the deep, intricate border in gray-taupe acts as a solemn frame, contrasting the dreamy warmth of the interior.

This piece is a sophisticated narrative, fusing the ancient discipline of Tabriz artistry with a distinctive, modern romanticism that gives it a memorable and powerful presence.
