A Tabriz with a commanding central medallion in a deep red field, balanced by pale cream spandrels and a refined floral border. The wool pile carries a tactile, slightly dry handle with low distress and gentle abrash that accentuates the patterning and tonal harmony. Finely scaled palmettes and vine work give a composed, historical presence while the neutral ground notes temper the palette. Circa 1925 - 1940. 305 x 411 cm This antique rug retains a considered, tactile character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
