An exceptional room-size Persian Tabriz rug, handwoven in one of Tabriz's finest workshops in the fourth quarter of the 20th century and preserved in pristine, like-new, never-used condition. This is a rare find — a vintage Tabriz of this quality and scale, in this state of preservation, represents the tradition at its most accessible and immediate. The richly detailed floral pattern is woven in a vibrant rust-red field and elevated by luxurious silk highlights that bring brilliance and depth to every motif.
The sophisticated color palette includes standout spandrels in baby blue and French blue tones — an unusual and beautiful choice that gives the piece a distinctive, contemporary energy alongside its classical Tabriz pedigree. Additional accents of red, green, and blue are intricately incorporated throughout, creating a harmonious and vibrant composition. 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.
