About the Item
53173 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, 12'11 x 17'09. Woven in the golden twilight of the 19th century in the legendary city of Tabriz, this rare antique Persian rug stands as a paragon of aristocratic refinement and artistic legacy. At over 13 feet wide and 18 feet long, its monumental scale and intricate hand-knotting represent the pinnacle of Qajar-era textile mastery—a time when weaving was not merely craft, but courtly expression. The design centers around a majestic hexagonal concentric medallion, a sacred geometry that symbolizes perfect unity and divine proportion. With every precious knot tied in disciplined harmony, this one-of-a-kind masterpiece becomes a sanctuary of cosmic order, inviting not just admiration, but reverence.
The exclusive field is adorned in an all-over signature Herati pattern—also known as the Mahi or “fish” design—wherein diamond-shaped floral rosettes are encircled by curving lanceolate leaves. These motifs, widely recognized and revered across Persian art, are believed to represent small fish swimming beneath the surface of the water, ascending to dance in the light of the full moon. This poetic interplay between earth and water, flora and fauna, reflects the philosophical spirit of Persian design—where nature is both mirror and muse. The result is an immersive visual rhythm that pulses across the entire surface like the heartbeat of a garden at dusk.
What truly sets this exquisite work of art apart, however, is its richly subdued palette of antique-washed earth tones—ochre, walnut, ashwood, and soft celadon—imbued with natural dyes that have mellowed over generations. These hues whisper of ancient pomegranate orchards and sun-warmed stone, exuding an understated opulence that only time can bestow. The architectural border, with its sweeping floral arabesques and medallioned cartouches, frames the composition with stately elegance. It is a rare example of visual equilibrium—where ornamental complexity meets serene restraint. The exceptional knot density, visible in the meticulous backside weave, confirms this as a workshop-grade rug of elite pedigree, crafted by the finest artisans of its time.
To acquire this antique Tabriz is to inherit not just a work of art, but a living manuscript of Persian culture—one steeped in heritage, harmony, and the ethics of handmade beauty. In an era increasingly defined by impermanence, this rug offers permanence, purpose, and provenance. It is ideal for the private collector, the architectural connoisseur, or the custodian of legacy who seeks not mere decoration, but soul-enriching distinction. More than a furnishing, this is a legacy heirloom, capable of elevating interiors and lives alike—a tribute to human artistry at its most sublime and enduring.
