It features an allover Herati pattern with repeating floral motifs in soft, muted tones, framed by delicate, intricately drawn borders.

On the Design:

This rug features a delicate all-over pattern of repeating floral motifs, rendered in a finely balanced composition that emphasizes symmetry and continuity. Unlike medallion-centered designs, the field here is uninterrupted, allowing the intricate vinery and stylized blossoms to create a seamless, expansive visual effect.

The palette is particularly noteworthy, with soft ivory and beige tones forming the ground, gently contrasted by faded terracotta reds and muted teal-blue accents. These subdued hues, softened over time, lend the rug a graceful patina and an understated elegance characteristic of early 20th-century Tabriz pieces.

A series of finely drawn borders frames the composition, featuring floral guard bands and a principal border with repeating botanical motifs. These elements provide structure while maintaining harmony with the field, enhancing the rug’s overall balance. The interplay of fine detail, soft coloration, and precise geometry reflects the high level of artistry associated with Tabriz weaving traditions.

This antique Persian Tabriz rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin. See less
