This exquisite room-size Persian Tabriz rug, woven in the late 20th century, is a beautiful and distinguished example of fine craftsmanship from the renowned Shirfar workshop — one of the most prestigious ateliers in Tabriz, whose pieces are actively collected and sought after by serious connoisseurs of Persian carpets worldwide.
Featuring a finely detailed floral medallion design, the rug's primary palette of warm ivory, rich chocolate brown, and soft camel creates an elegant and inviting composition of great sophistication. The central medallion and corner spandrels, rendered in varying shades of brown and camel, are surrounded by intricate floral motifs in blue, red, pink, and green. Wool pile on a cotton foundation enriched with luxurious silk highlights throughout combines exceptional material quality with the masterful artistry of one of Tabriz's greatest workshops. In new, never-used condition. 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.
