About the Item

90018 Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, 10'11 x 17'00. This antique Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted from fine wool, is a paragon of intricate design and cultural heritage. The rug's grandeur navy blue field is lavishly adorned with an allover pattern composed of Herati motifs, which traditionally symbolize fish that come up just beneath the surface of the water to swim in the full moon's reflection, representing life and abundance. These esoteric motifs are intertwined with geometric designs that add a layer of complexity and visual interest to the rug, making it a stunning centerpiece in nearly any room. The deep navy blue background serves as a dramatic canvas for the rustic reds, warm browns, greens, and sky blue details, creating a harmonious yet striking color palette. Framing this dense and detailed field is a meticulously crafted border that enhances the rug's elegance. The primary border features a turtle vine scroll, a traditional Persian design known for its flowing, curvilinear forms that evoke the graceful movements of a turtle through water. This main border is flanked by an inner and outer floral meander guard border, with running water guard bands, which together encapsulate the central tableau. These borders not only frame the central design but also add layers of meaning and symbolism, further emphasizing the rug’s deep cultural roots and the weavers’ attention to detail. The rich color scheme and sophisticated patterns of this antique Tabriz rug make it a versatile piece for various interior design styles. Whether nestled in a traditional setting among classic furnishings and rich wood tones or serving as an exotic focal point in a more contemporary space, this large Persian area rug brings warmth and a sense of worldly elegance. The blend of colors and intricate patterns can complement a range of palettes, from neutral to vibrant, making it a timeless addition to any decor that bridges the gap between antique charm and modern appeal.
