A magnificent vintage Persian Tabriz room-size rug, hand-knotted in the third quarter of the 20th century from wool pile on a cotton foundation — a luxury construction that gives the piece a brilliant, jewel-like sheen and a vibrancy of color unmatched by wool. This exceptionally beautiful and colorful rug features an allover large-format floral pattern set against a brilliant red background field, its large-scale floral forms bursting with luminous turquoise, lush green, classic red, sunny yellow, warm brown, and a chorus of harmonious complementary hues. A distinguished navy blue border frames the vibrant central design with authority.
