Tabriz / 17931

This Tabriz antique rug in wool measures 277 x 376 cm and presents an allover design softened by a gentle, lived-in patina. Cream and ivory ground the composition, while muted coral, rust, taupe, and charcoal define repeating teardrop motifs, floral detail, and a structured border. The medium distress is visible in the softened contrast, surface wear, and subtle abrash, which give the piece its layered character. Circa 1885 - 1900, it feels ordered yet worn, with the understated elegance that so often distinguishes Tabriz weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
