It features an exquisite, all-over floral pattern rendered in a breathtaking, high-key palette of luminous ivory and delicate silver-gray.

On the Design:

This rug is a study in sublime quietude, capturing the refined grace of a classical Persian design as if seen in the soft focus of an antique photograph.

Rooted in the high traditions of Tabriz weaving, the pattern is a sophisticated all-over floral tapestry, where the central focus has been intentionally diffused to create a harmonious, flowing composition.

The palette is a serene masterclass in near-monochrome, defined by an expansive field of luminous creamy ivory and subtle pale beige, which gives the piece a feeling of spacious, airy light.

The intricate vinery, palmettes, and broad border motifs are delicately etched in whispers of silver-gray and light taupe.

This gentle tonal contrast creates a mesmerizing ethereal effect, allowing the fine pattern to gently emerge and recede, 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 when rendered in this subdued, modern color scheme.

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