About the Item

Antique Oversized Persian Tabriz Rug Size: 15'3" × 22'4" (464 × 680 cm) A majestic masterpiece of 19th-century Persian craftsmanship, this oversized antique Tabriz rug exudes refined elegance, historical gravitas, and intricate artistry. Woven circa 1880 in one of Persia's most celebrated weaving centers, this extraordinary carpet embodies the sophisticated design language and technical excellence that characterize Tabriz weavings. At the heart of the composition lies a commanding central medallion, radiating out in a symphony of stylized vines, palmettes, and floral motifs. These elements are arranged with architectural precision, seamlessly balanced across the expansive field. The ornate border, composed of elaborate cartouches and interconnected arabesques, offers a richly detailed frame that enhances the overall harmony of the design. The color palette is distinguished by its warm earth tones—soft terracotta, sand, ivory, and nuanced chocolate brown—gently aged into a subdued patina that enhances the rug's historical character. Faint silvery highlights and muted creams contribute to a gentle luminosity that softens the overall composition, creating a feeling of timeless grandeur. Meticulously hand-knotted using high-quality wool, the rug exhibits an impressively tight weave and sharp detailing typical of Tabriz production. The scale of the piece, approximately 22 by 13 feet, makes it suitable for anchoring grand interior spaces—ballrooms, libraries, or formal salons. This rug is not just a decorative element but a cultural artifact—a living testimony to the height of Persian textile artistry during the Qajar era. Rugs of this scale and quality were often commissioned by nobility or affluent patrons and intended for palatial settings. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
