Tabriz 1232

An exquisite example of Persian artistry, this authentic room-size Tabriz rug showcases a delicate floral design woven with a silk foundation and extensive silk highlights throughout the pile — a construction of exceptional luxury that gives the piece a suppleness, softness, and sheen that sets it apart from standard wool-on-cotton examples. Crafted in one of the finest workshops in the historic city of Tabriz, this piece proudly features the workshop's signature woven into the ends — a hallmark of superior quality and distinguished provenance.

The rug's pale camel hair and taupe field is elegantly complemented by a light green border, with intricate motifs rendered in shades of blue, green, and subtle neutrals. Its remarkably fine weave, sophisticated palette, and luxurious silk accents combine to create a work of timeless refinement. A signed, silk-foundation Tabriz in this condition is among the most desirable pieces available to the collector. 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.
