Late 19th Century Antique Persian Tabriz Pictorial Carpet with Traditional Style

About the Item

61212 Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, 11'03 x 15'00. This exquisite hand-knotted wool antique Persian Tabriz rug, a treasure from the Late 19th Century, unfolds as a canvas of the cherished Chahar Bagh, the Persian quadrilateral garden that is an earthly reflection of paradise. The design intricately narrates tales of harmony and symmetry, meticulously woven into a tableau of eternal spring. This garden, divided into four parts by waterways or pathways, symbolizes the gardens of paradise described in Persian poetry and the Qur'an, a motif that speaks to the soul's eternal quest for divine unity and eternal peace. The central field of the Tabriz rug is a mesmerizing depiction of Chahar Bagh, where flora and fauna coexist in blissful serenity. This central sanctuary is bordered by cartouches, likely inscribed with Persian poetry or Qur'anic verses, which extol the virtues of paradise and the promise of an afterlife filled with beauty and tranquility. These scriptural adornments serve not merely as decorative elements but as profound reminders of the spiritual dimensions of existence, bridging earthly beauty with heavenly promise. Each panel surrounding the central depiction is a microcosm of the garden theme, featuring scenes of wildlife and elements of nature that are symbolic in Persian culture. Deer roam amidst lush foliage, birds perch gracefully on tree branches, and flowers bloom with vivacity, each element carefully placed to represent the vitality of life and the interconnectedness of all living things. These scenes are crafted with such detail that they seem almost alive, whispering tales of the natural world's splendor. The Persian rug's cartouche border is an elaborate framework of floral motifs and geometric patterns, echoing the paradisiacal themes found within the central garden. This border encapsulates the main field, safeguarding the stories woven within. The use of rich, deep blues and vibrant earth tones in the border contrasts with the softer hues of the garden, highlighting the artistic duality between the celestial and the terrestrial. This antique Persian Tabriz rug is not only a majestic piece of art but also a profound narrative woven in wool. Each knot and color choice is a testament to the weaver's skill and artistic vision, capturing a fragment of history and the essence of Persian cultural pride. This rug, with its poetic imagery and historical depth, offers more than aesthetic appeal; it provides a link to the rich culture of Persian heritage, inviting contemplation and admiration in equal measure. Rendered in variegated shades of blue, pink, tan, red, navy blue, greige, brown, and beige with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear. Hand-knotted in wool. Made in Persian (Iran). Measures: 11'03 x 15'00. Pile Height: 0.24 of an inch. Date: 1890's. Late 19th Century.
