1950's Garden of Paradise Persian Tabriz Carpet with Modern Style

About the Item

61126 Vintage Persian Tabriz Rug, 09'10 x 12'00. This hand knotted wool vintage Persian Tabriz rug pictured is a testament to the rich history of Persian weaving, showcasing a variety of traditional floral motifs and their deep symbolic meanings. The floral bouquets adorning the Tabriz rug include rosettes, lilies, iris, lotus, peony, and blossoms, each selected for their significant cultural symbolism. Rosettes are often associated with thoughts of love and beauty, while lilies symbolize purity and renewal. Irises bring connotations of wisdom and valor, lotuses represent rebirth and the peony, often referred to as the king of flowers in Persian culture, symbolizes wealth and honor. In addition to these floral elements, gold acanthus swags sweep gracefully across the field, adding a touch of classical elegance. Acanthus leaves, with their historical use in architectural ornamentation, are symbols of enduring life and immortality. This blend of motifs creates a rich narrative of life's beauty and complexity, portrayed through the lens of nature's most enchanting elements. Amidst these lush botanical arrangements, pairs of mirrored birds grace each floral bouquet, adding a dynamic and animate element to the Persian rug’s design. These birds are likely stylized representations of paradise birds or peacocks, which are prevalent in Persian art. Birds in Persian rugs often symbolize divinity and spiritual ascent. The mirrored imagery of the birds suggests symmetry and balance, emphasizing harmony in nature and the unity between the earthly and the spiritual. The Persian Tabriz rug is framed by a complementary border of birds and flowers, which is flanked by an inner and outer rosette meander guard border. This framing not only enhances the central imagery but also serves as a protective symbolical boundary that encapsulates the beauty within. The border's intricate design complements the central field, creating a continuous interplay between the border and the core design elements, further enriching the rug's visual and symbolic complexity. This vintage Persian Tabriz rug, with its deep symbolism and exquisite craftsmanship, is not only a magnificent piece of art but also a profound narrative woven into the very fabric of Persian cultural heritage.

1950's Persian Tabriz Hunting Carpet with Modern Style
Located in Dallas, TX
77353 Vintage Persian Tabriz Rug, 11'00 x 15'03. In this resplendent hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Tabriz hunting rug, a mythic narrative unfolds across a regal composition of color, craftsmanship, and cultural symbolism. At the heart lies a scalloped medallion blooming with florals—lotus blossoms signifying rebirth, lilies whispering of purity, and rosettes circling like celestial constellations around a dark indigo center. This elaborate medallion anchors the visual rhythm of the piece, drawing the viewer into a timeless world where artistry and storytelling become one. Surrounding the medallion is a magnificent rust-hued field alive with aristocratic riders astride galloping steeds, poised mid-hunt amid a garden of earthly delights. With arrows drawn and regal posture, these noble figures evoke a sense of valor and refinement from Persian courtly traditions. Deer leap and bound through the landscape, symbols of grace, gentleness, and fleeting beauty, while paradise birds perch delicately within the flora—emissaries of heaven and harbingers of spiritual bliss. Each animal is rendered with care, not as decoration alone, but as a living thread in the fabric of a storied garden. Interwoven throughout the field is a verdant array of botanical motifs, each carrying its own symbolic weight. Hyacinths suggest regeneration, tulips prosperity, and peonies an echo of strength and power. Pomegranates, split open and brimming with seeds, embody fertility and life’s abundance, while delicate blossoms and curling vines meander like arabesque poetry across the terrain. Saz leaves and acanthus scrolls provide the baroque flourish of classical Persian garden design, transforming the field into a cultivated wilderness of movement and meaning. The corner spandrels mirror the central field, with muted mint backdrops densely packed with flowering stems and gracefully leaping deer, extending the sense of harmony and echoing the symmetry prized in Persian aesthetics. These spaces act as serene interludes between the fervent energy of the hunt and the stately stillness of the border, softening the composition while enriching its narrative depth. Encircling the entire scene is a radiant floral border set against a pale yellow backdrop, anchored wit eight-pointed rosette stars alternating with ornate palmettes and peony that serve as both spiritual and ornamental punctuation. Blooming tulips and stylized saz foliage arc and weave between arabesque scrolls, culminating in a final embrace of the inner tableau. This Tabriz hunting carpet...
