It features a delicate, oversized floral medallion set against a stunning, high-key palette of luminous ivory and pale silver-gray.

On the Design:

This rug is a vision of sublime tranquility, capturing the majestic complexity of a classical Persian design rendered in tones as weightless as smoke and light.

Rooted in the high traditions of Tabriz weaving, the design centers on a powerful, oversized floral medallion that dominates the field, yet its presence is softened by an atmospheric wash.

The palette is a serene masterclass in near-monochrome, defined by a broad field of luminous ivory that appears to glow, creating a feeling of expansive space.

The elaborate motifs—the grand medallion, the corner spandrels, and the detailed border—are exquisitely traced in whispers of pale silver-gray and light taupe.

This gentle tonal contrast creates a mesmerizing, ethereal effect, where the fine pattern seems to be emerging from a beautiful, permanent mist, emphasizing the luxurious texture of the aged wool.

Admirers of the craft will appreciate the precision and fine knotting of Tabriz provenance, which retains its regal quality even in this most subdued color scheme.

This piece is a sophisticated fusion of ancient discipline and profound serenity, offering a foundation that is both historically rich and universally calming.
