On the Design:

Admirers of antique Persian weaving will appreciate this rug for its graceful balance of classical medallion design and refined decorative motifs. A warm salmon-toned field hosts a finely drawn central medallion rendered in soft blue and ivory hues, creating a striking focal point that anchors the composition with elegant symmetry.

The medallion’s intricate geometry is enriched by delicate floral ornamentation, reflecting the sophisticated design traditions associated with Persian silk carpets of the late nineteenth century. Surrounding the medallion, subtle corner spandrels echo the same ornamental language, creating harmony between the field and its framing elements. These motifs lend a sense of architectural balance to the composition while emphasizing the medallion’s prominence within the overall design.

The field itself remains relatively open, allowing the intricacy of the central motif and the border details to stand out with clarity and grace. The border composition further enhances the rug’s decorative presence, featuring repeating floral motifs and delicate vine patterns that frame the field with a sense of movement and rhythm. Condition: This antique Persian Tabriz Rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor. See less
