It features a delicate, all-over pattern in a breathtaking, high-key palette of luminous ivory, whisper-gray, and softest pale blue.

On the Design:

This rug is an evocative study in the art of subtlety and atmosphere, where the expansive field feels like a canvas painted in the cool, diffused light of a winter sky.

Rooted in the high traditions of Tabriz weaving, the design structure is a complex, all-over floral tapestry, where the central medallion is intentionally dissolved into the surrounding motifs, creating an uninterrupted flow.

The palette is a serene masterclass in near-monochrome, dominated by an airy blend of luminous ivory and pale cream.

The intricate vinery, palmettes, and border motifs are exquisitely traced in whispers of cool gray and delicate sky blue.

These soft, tonal contrasts create a captivating ethereal effect, making the elaborate pattern seem to float or shimmer, visible only as a beautiful layer of shadow and light.

Admirers of the craft will appreciate the precision and fine knotting of Tabriz provenance, which retains its regal quality even when rendered in such a high-key, modern finish.

This piece is a sophisticated fusion of ancient discipline and minimalist luxury, offering a foundation that is both historically rich and profoundly calming.
