90033 Antique Red Persian Tabriz Rug Runner, 03'02 x 13'00.
Woven with courtly refinement in one of Persia’s most esteemed weaving centers, this hand-knotted wool antique Tabriz runner is a symphonic composition of color, flora, and storytelling. Set upon a resplendent red field, its surface blossoms with three stately “Tree of Life” motifs, each gracefully anchored along the axis of the design. These symbolic trees unfurl upward and outward in rhythmic harmony, surrounded by an effusion of botanical splendor—echoing the Persian garden ideal, where order, beauty, and paradise converge in visual poetry. The enchanting composition is not merely decorative; it is a living manuscript of paradise on earth, rendered knot by knot with precision and spiritual resonance.
A rare chorus of floral elements springs forth: captivating palmettes unfolding like celestial fans, lotus blossoms whispering of rebirth and inner harmony, rosettes radiating ideal beauty, and delicate peonies evoking honor and abundance. Between them, hyacinths signal joy and growth, while elegant lilies and irises lend a sense of noble purity and ephemeral grace. Serrated leaves dance like gilded foliage caught in a breeze, while a playful menagerie of frolicking deer intersperses the pattern—symbols of peace, love, and spiritual agility. Together, these elements create a dreamlike tableau, suffused with the soft elegance of colors like lavender, coral, light green, and sky blue.
Framing this magnificent garden of opulence is a distinguished navy blue border, itself a curated exhibition of stylized florals and arabesque foliage. These amorphous, organic forms—softly edged and painterly—feel like nature reimagined through the lens of abstraction. An inner and outer guard band of simple geometric meanders, drawn in quiet beige, act as both frame and restraint, giving architectural structure to the otherwise lyrical movement within the field. The balance of drama and restraint reveals the artistic maturity that defines the best Tabriz rugs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Luxurious yet grounded in heritage, this precious work of art transcends function to become a masterpiece of immersive artistry—ideal for a grand corridor, gallery, or refined interior seeking narrative and grace. With its richly nuanced color palette of deep reds, mauves, and light yellows against grounding navy and beige, it evokes the sophistication of couture textiles and the timeless elegance of Persian court culture. This is not merely a rug—it is a celebration of craft, myth, and botanical majesty woven into enduring beauty.
