About the Item

Oversized Antique Persian Tabriz Rug Size: 14'1" × 17'7" (429 × 535 cm) Masterfully crafted in the renowned weaving city of Tabriz, this exquisite oversized Persian rug from the 1880s is a testament to the enduring artistry of the Qajar-era Persian textile tradition. The rug displays a breathtaking all-over lattice design formed by interconnected ogival medallions, filled with intricately detailed botanical motifs, arabesques, and stylized palmettes. The field is arranged in a symmetric network of diamond and oval-shaped cartouches, which enclose alternating palmettes and rosettes rendered in soft, aged tones. The composition flows gracefully, balanced by gently curved vine scrolls and densely packed floral sprigs. This tight patterning, emblematic of fine Tabriz craftsmanship, exudes a harmonious sense of rhythm and refinement. A series of elegantly proportioned borders frames the central composition, the main border featuring palmette and floral motifs in a repeating scroll-like layout. The smaller guard borders introduce complementary detailing and help transition the eye inward, enhancing the composition’s sense of scale and structure. Time has mellowed the original dyes into a sublime patina of earthy terracotta, antique ivory, muted peach, faded blues, and soft celadon green. The natural wear only enhances its vintage appeal, giving the rug a painterly quality and depth that speaks to its age and authenticity. Woven with exceptionally fine wool and great technical precision, the rug demonstrates the hallmark qualities of Tabriz weaving—clarity of design, high knot density, and a crisp yet plush pile. Despite its grand scale, the layout remains balanced and legible throughout, a rare achievement in rugs of this magnitude. 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.
