This stunning hand-knotted wool and silk vintage Chinese Tabriz rug exemplifies the beauty and timeless elegance of Persian-inspired design, woven with exceptional skill and artistry. The Chinese Tabriz rug features a striking central medallion surrounded by resplendent floral motifs, all set against a rich, dark field that highlights the vivid colors and fine details. The cusped medallion, anchored by a floral pendants at either end, seamlessly amalgamates into the surrounding array of lush florals, creating a harmonious balance of color and pattern that speaks to the rug's beautiful craftsmanship and historical significance.
The medallion itself, in lavish shades of red, green, and soft blues, stands out as the focal point, symbolizing the ethereal beauty of nature. Surrounding the medallion, the field is alive with dense arrangements of flowers, vines, and urns, which flow outward in a symmetrical yet organic fashion, inviting the viewer's eye to trace their delicate shapes. The finely executed design creates a sense of movement and life, with every element carefully placed to create visual balance and refinement. This organic symmetry is characteristic of the Tabriz style, known for its elegant and meticulously crafted motifs.
The Chinese Tabriz rug's green corner spandrels, with their scalloped edges, echo the designs found within the central field, reinforcing the rug’s ornamental and balanced composition. These corner details are not merely decorative, but serve to link the borders with the central medallion, creating a seamless flow throughout the piece. A delicate main red border wraps around the rug, featuring more floral designs and arabesque vinery that echo the beauty of the medallion. The smaller guard borders, adorned with dainty floral motifs, add layers of depth, framing the rug with a refined and continuous pattern.
Crafted from fine wool and silk, this vintage Chinese Tabriz rug is a perfect example of the artistry and durability that has defined the Tabriz tradition for centuries.
