A rare and exquisite round-shaped vintage Persian Tabriz rug from the early 20th century — an exceptional format that was always made to special commission and is extraordinarily difficult to find in the antique market today. The soft pale pink field is adorned with an intricate array of floral and branch motifs in complementary tones of baby blue, green, brown, red, and cream, creating a delicate and harmonious composition of unusual charm.
Framing the floral field is a striking navy blue border with interlocking floral designs, adding depth and structure to the rug's graceful circular form. The round format makes this piece ideal for entrance halls, beneath circular dining tables, and in any space where the standard rectangular rug would feel too rigid or formal. Silk highlights add a luminous depth to selected motifs. Tabriz, the ancient capital of Persian Azerbaijan and one of the great trading cities of the Silk Road, has been a center of carpet weaving for centuries. The city's workshops produce rugs of extraordinary technical precision and design sophistication — ranging from the classical floral medallion compositions of the great 19th century masters to the bold geometric and Mahi patterns for which Tabriz is equally celebrated. Tabriz rugs are among the most recognized and sought-after Persian carpets in the world.
