Tabriz / 20987

This Tabriz antique rug in wool measures 297 x 381 cm and carries a finely worked field of scrolling florals, palmettes, and arabesque stems. A floral border encloses the composition, now softened by medium distress and gentle fading that mute the contrast across the surface. Brown, burgundy, cream, and muted blue tones settle into a grounded, timeworn palette, giving the rug a calm, collected presence. Circa 1915 - 1930, it reflects the intricate drawing and composed elegance associated with Tabriz weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
