About the Item

Oversized Antique Persian Tabriz Rug Size: 14'6" × 19'5" (441 × 591 cm). Steeped in elegance and craftsmanship, this exquisite oversized antique Persian Tabriz rug from the 1920s embodies the exceptional artistry that has made Tabriz one of the most revered weaving centers in Persia. This monumental piece presents a finely detailed, allover Herati design, executed with remarkable precision and subtlety. The field showcases a symmetrical latticework of diamond-shaped lozenges, each enclosing delicate rosettes and stylized foliage. This classic Persian motif, often referred to as the “Mahi” or fish design, is a hallmark of Tabriz weaving, symbolizing abundance and protection. The repetition of these intricate elements creates a rhythmic texture that draws the eye across the entire surface of the carpet. Set against a mature, earthy brown field, the design is softened by warm tones of terra cotta, camel, and muted taupe, producing an aged patina that speaks to the rug’s century-long journey. The broad, richly adorned border—featuring elongated palmettes, rosettes, and undulating vinery—frames the central pattern with regal distinction. Woven with a high knot density using fine wool, the carpet exudes both durability and a velvety sheen. Its grand scale and restrained palette make it particularly well-suited for traditional interiors, refined libraries, stately dining rooms, or any setting that calls for an anchor of understated grandeur. More than a floor covering, this antique Persian Tabriz is a textile masterpiece, seamlessly blending artistry, symbolism, and function. It stands as a testament to the cultural and technical sophistication of early 20th-century Persian weaving. 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.
