Its luminous, washed palette of warm beige, dusty taupe, and creamy ivory creates a sophisticated heirloom aesthetic perfect for contemporary interiors.


On the Design:

This rug is a captivating study in subtlety and dissolved grandeur, embodying the quiet majesty of a classic court carpet viewed through the lens of time.

Its design is rooted in the high traditions of Tabriz weaving, featuring a bold, centralized medallion and corner spandrel framework.

The palette is a sophisticated monochrome, defined by a rich, luminous interplay of warm beige, dusty taupe, and creamy ivory.

The large central medallion and the flowing cartouches in the corners are rendered in bright ivory, while the surrounding field shifts through variegated shades of brown.

This deliberate tonal contrast, amplified by the aged texture, makes the core design elements appear to softly emerge and dissolve from the surrounding field, creating a ghost-like effect.

Admirers of the craft will appreciate the profound sense of history in its worn texture, which reveals the complex layers of traditional vinery beneath the surface.

This piece is a sophisticated fusion of ancient opulence and modern minimalism, offering a timeless foundation that honors the soul of Tabriz artistry while achieving a contemporary, calming elegance.

This vintage rug prevails in good condition, with an antique wash that creates the look of a distressed classic in a low-pile construction; ready for the floor. See less
