It features a delicate, oversized floral medallion set against a warm, desert-wash field of luminous beige and taupe, lending the piece a serene, sun-bleached elegance.

On the Design:

This rug is a striking piece that captures the essence of a classic Persian court design, distinguished by its large, softly faded central medallion and all-over floral tracery. Rooted in the high traditions of Tabriz weaving, the design structure is refined and expansive, featuring a prominent centralized medallion and corner spandrel framework.

The palette is dominated by warm beige and soft brown tones, creating a captivating "desert wash" effect, where the colors appear beautifully aged and sun-bleached.

Subtle accents of light blue and sage green peek through in the core of the medallion, providing a delicate focal point.

The deliberate tonal contrast between the luminous field and the intricately drawn, yet faded, patterns results in a powerful sense of history and depth.

Admirers of the craft will appreciate the fine, precise drawing of the motifs characteristic of Tabriz provenance.

This piece is a sophisticated fusion of ancient opulence and modern serenity, offering a timeless foundation that celebrates the soul of Persian artistry with refined, subtle color.

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
