This antique-inspired Tabriz reimagines classical Persian heritage through a refined, washed look. The composition features an intricate, all-over repeating pattern governed by precise floral geometric symmetry, softened by a muted patina that lends the piece an airy, ethereal quality.

The field features a central frame showcasing arabesque and palmette motifs. Elegant, flowing vine work and fan-shaped floral motifs that create a sense of rhythmic movement across the field.

The diffused tonality and sophisticated low-shear finish create a timeless floor covering that honors its Tabriz lineage with understated elegance.The palette is tranquil, a blend of luminous misty blue and soft beige, with intricate vinery etched in delicate brown and taupe. This subtle-contrast theme allows the wool to perform gracefully, offering a perfect blend of ancient, high-precision weaving and luxury.
