Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and the Early 20th Century Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles Artistically Handwoven in Persia, the Caucasus, Anatolia, and Around the World
An early 20th century Persian Tabriz room size rug in a Herati geometric pattern. Meticulously hand-knotted, this piece showcases a medallion Herati geometric pattern in a captivating "Shabby Chic Distressed" style, a testament to its age and history. This rug, far from being simply worn, embodies a desirable patina that speaks of enduring design and a life well-lived.
The all-over Herati pattern is set against a magnificent abrash navy blue background. The term "abrash" refers to the subtle and charming color variations that occur from natural vegetable dyes, adding depth and a sense of "living color" to the field. The central medallion, a focal point of the design, is rendered in a harmonious combination of antique camel and French blue, creating a sophisticated and elegant contrast.
