About the Item

Designs found in contemporary rugs from Isfahan in central Iran are based on those seen during the Safavid period (1501 - 1736 AD). The most popular pattern has a central circular medallion on an elegantly sculpted field filled with swirling floral vinery . Kork wool, considered amongst the best, is used for the pile which is close cropped. The foundations are often silk, which enables the weaver to utilize a higher knot count, providing greater detail to the elements. This example has a pictorial pattern with a woman in a landscape flanked by inscriptions from Omak Khayyam within a jade border filled with birds amongst floral vinery. 441 knots per square inch. 3' 3" x 2' 5".

Vintage Persian Taba Tabriz Carpet
Located in Closter, NJ
The city of Tabriz in northwest Persia is acknowledged as central to the revival of the carpet industry in the late 19th Century. Merchants from this area were well aware of the demand for Middle Eastern decorative objects from the west, and the location of this city was convenient for exporting items to both Europe and America. The carpet-producing industry here was organized primarily in factories ranging in size from between ten and one hundred looms. The quality of these carpets is considered to be among the best, with the usage of wool indigenous to this high-altitude region, woven in symmetrical knots on a cotton foundation. The designs of these carpets are both accomplished and eclectic, as traditional patterns from other weaving regions are often utilized and presented in refined manners with pleasing color palettes. The Taba Tabriz...
