Tabriz / 11601

This Tabriz wool antique rug carries a pale ivory to gold ground enlivened by turquoise and navy palmettes and delicate floral tendrils. The composition is an elegant, balanced garden rug with layered floral guards and a floral main border that frame the centre motifs. Low distress keeps the pile resilient with a soft sheen; a quiet abrash adds depth to the field without disrupting the drawing. The proportion and scale remain harmonious across 335 x 554 cm, reflecting considered dyeing and careful finishing. Circa 1955 - 1970. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
