Graceful arabesques, palmettes, rosettes, flowering branches, and scrolling vines are arranged in a highly balanced repeat, creating continuous movement throughout the surface. Accents of soft red, muted blue, taupe, brown, pale green, and beige provide definition while preserving the carpet’s refined tonal harmony. The intricate drawing is organized with a strong sense of symmetry, allowing the floral motifs to flow evenly from end to end. A broad blue-grey main border surrounds the field with large palmettes, blossoms, and scrolling botanical forms, while narrower red and floral guard borders add structure and contrast. Characteristic of Tabriz weaving, the carpet combines precise drawing, classical Persian ornament, and elegant proportions, making it well suited to traditional, formal, transitional, or eclectic interiors.
