Tabriz / 17818

This Tabriz antique rug in wool measures 348 x 396 cm and presents a finely patterned floral composition with an aged, painterly surface. The deep red centre is threaded with faded blue, ivory, muted teal, and restrained gold, while the surrounding border gathers the design into a balanced frame of scrolling ornament. Medium distress is visible throughout, with softened detail, tonal variation, and a gently worn finish that adds depth. Circa 1925 - 1945, it speaks to the refined, decorative language associated with Tabriz weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
