About the Item

Antique Persian Tabriz rug in blue, brown, gold Size: 8'8" × 12'1" (264 × 368 cm) Tabriz is one of the oldest and most renowned weaving centers in the world. This antique Persian rug, made circa 1930, is a classic example of Tabriz craftsmanship. The main theme of this rug’s design is immortality. The main fields is occupied by two trees with meandering branches – the Tree of Life is a traditional oriental motif expressing hope for life after death. The main field is embraced by a series of borders adorned with palmettes and flowering climbers. The color palette emphasizes the message – the color blue symbolizes afterlife and is often paired with motifs like the Tree of Life or cypresses. Shades of gold and beige, on the other hand, stand for purity, but they may also symbolize power and wealth. In terms of execution, this antique carpet is second to none. It was carefully hand knotted of the finest wool by a skilled artisan who ensured its supreme quality and absolute uniqueness. Under the condition of proper maintenance, the rug will serve its owners for generations without any signs of wear. This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.

Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa: Early 20th Century – Size: 10 ft x 15 ft 3 in (3.05 m x 4.65 m) Here is an exceptionally woven and deeply impressive antique Oriental rug – an antique Tabriz carpet that was woven in Persia during the first decades of the twentieth century. Characterized by an impeccable and classic composition as well as visibly meticulous weaving, this antique Tabriz carpet is an appealing and impressive example of an important style of antique Persian rug. Sublimely decorated, this elaborate antique rug from Tabriz depicts an elegant pendant-flanked medallion surrounded by layers of floral motifs and graceful floral valances that are set over the stark and inherently stylish monochromatic field. Lush spandrels embellished with graceful curved outlines, intricate floral sprays and compound boteh emblems emphasize the timeless elegance of traditional curvilinear Persian designs. The awe-inspiring main borders depict towering cypress trees and intricate floral sprays set over a warm and beautifully oxidized chestnut brown background. Exquisite guard bands adorned with reciprocating floral motifs showcase an arresting variety of superfluous floral details that add to the appeal of this supreme antique Persian rug from Tabriz.
