Tabriz / 10870

This Tabriz in wool reads as a quietly weathered classic, its neutral field washed to a soft, mottled ground around a restrained floral medallion. Red spandrels and a broad foliate border hold the composition, white and cream detailing providing delicate relief to the pattern. The rug shows medium distress, with even abrash and softened motifs that speak to long use and patient handling; the surface retains textured interest rather than high pile. An antique rug of considered scale, it measures 434 x 536 cm and carries a refined, heritage atmosphere. Circa 1900 - 1915.
