Tabriz Gol Farang 1369

Presenting the beautiful hand knotted Persian Tabriz room size rug circa the mid-1900s.  This rug features a highly unique and beautiful allover "Gol Farang" (Foreign Flower) pattern. While often associated with Bidjar, this sophisticated design was also woven in Tabriz, likely as a custom order inspired by a European aesthetic—some believe it is a variation of the French Aubusson carpets admired by the Shah of Persia.

The design is set against a field of beautiful abrash navy blue and French blue. The term "abrash" refers to the subtle and charming color variations created by the use of organic dyes, giving the rug a sense of "living color" and a unique, authentic character. Each intricate flower in the pattern is rendered in a variety of shades, including elegant cream, serene blue, and classic red, showcasing the artisan's masterful use of color.  A striking brick red border with a traditional ram's horn design beautifully frames the central field, providing a warm and sophisticated enclosure.
