It features an exquisite, all-over floral pattern rendered in a luminous, near-monochrome palette of creamy ivory and pale gray, lending the piece a serene, ethereal elegance.

On the Design:

This rug is a breathtaking study in tonal subtlety and soft dissolution, capturing the essence of a classic court carpet with its structure beautifully softened by time and wash.

Rooted in the high traditions of Tabriz weaving, the design features an all-over field pattern of fine floral vinery and palmettes, where the central medallion has been intentionally blended into the surrounding motifs.

The palette is a brilliant, near-monochrome composition, defined by an ethereal interplay of luminous creamy ivory and soft, cool gray-taupe.

The gray tones delicately define the intricate motifs across the field and border, contrasting gently against the glowing ivory background.

The authentically distressed texture works with the subtle colors to create a mesmerizing sense of depth, as the complex pattern appears to gently emerge and recede.

Admirers of the craft will appreciate the fine, dense detail characteristic of Tabriz provenance, giving the piece a regal quality despite its modern wash.

This piece is a sophisticated fusion of ancient opulence and contemporary serenity, offering a timeless foundation that celebrates the soul of Persian artistry.
