Tabriz 1339

An antique Persian Tabriz rug of exceptional beauty, this handwoven masterpiece from the first quarter of the 20th century showcases an allover Herati geometric design set on a rich navy field complemented by a coordinating navy border, both adorned with elaborate floral and geometric motifs. Subtle accents of green, baby blue, rust, and brown enrich the composition, adding depth, warmth, and a versatility that allows the rug to enhance both traditional and contemporary interiors with equal ease.

The Herati pattern — named for the city of Herat in present-day Afghanistan — is one of the most beloved and enduring designs in the Persian rug canon, its interlocking rosettes and lanceolate leaves repeated across the field in a rhythm of mesmerizing complexity. In the hands of Tabriz's master weavers, the pattern achieves a precision and clarity that sets it apart from all other interpretations. 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.
