Vintage Tabriz Small Scatter Size Wool Red Rug, Circa Date: 1950s. This exceptional Persian Tabriz piece, woven from high-quality wool, exemplifies the sophisticated artistry for which the city is renowned. Its practical dimensions classify it as a small scatter size, ideal for an entryway or bedside placement where its intricate detail can be appreciated up close.

The primary field is dominated by a vibrant, deep rust red color, providing a dramatic backdrop for the intricate design work. A highly detailed, multi-lobed central medallion anchors the composition, filled with stylized palmettes and arabesques rendered in muted olive, navy, and khaki tones.

Surrounding the vivid field is a complex border system featuring a striking light gray ground. This contrast beautifully frames the central design while showcasing a lively menagerie of deer, birds, and stylized foliage, characteristic of the finest Persian garden carpet traditions. The density of the knotting ensures the crisp definition of every motif.

Woven in the 1950s, this rug offers the durability and fine knot density expected of Tabriz workshops, coupled with the softened patina of age. It is a superb example of vintage area rugs that retains its structural integrity and saturated color palette, ready to enhance a contemporary or traditional interior setting. See less
