Tabriz / 11144

Tabriz 335 x 475 cm reads as an antique rug with a calm, aged colourway of brown, neutral and gold. The allover arrangement of palmettes and scrolling vines forms a low-contrast medallion-lattice contained within a broad floral border. The wool pile shows medium distress with even fading and gentle abrash across the field; the edges display modest wear that contributes to a lived-in patina. The restrained colour palette and closely drawn motifs reflect a heritage approach to design, the surface offering subtle tonal shifts and tactile interest under close inspection. Circa 1900 - 1920
