79246 Vintage Ivory Chinese Tabriz Rug, 08'11 x 12'04.
Radiating quiet grandeur and timeless elegance, this hand-knotted wool and silk vintage Chinese Tabriz rug evokes the refined splendor of a bygone imperial court. With an ivory field as delicate as hand-pressed parchment, the composition is an intricate choreography of botanical grace—each blossom, leaf, and vine rendered with astonishing precision. At the heart of the design lies a mirrored axis of floral rosettes and leafy sprays, arranged in symmetrical perfection to evoke the rhythm and balance of classical Persian garden carpets. The overall effect is one of cultivated harmony, where every motif contributes to a sophisticated visual equilibrium.
The majestic field is adorned with an exquisite millefleur bouquet of roses, hyacinths, and lotus blossoms in shades of soft blush, gold, celadon, and lavender—each element a testament to haute craftsmanship. The inclusion of silk threads elevates the design with a subtle luster, allowing the floral details to shimmer like jewelry under light. Curvilinear scrolls and feathered fronds gently wind through the composition, imbuing the rug with a sense of motion and timeless vitality. This delicate interplay of color and form embodies a quiet luxury, refined yet opulent, like the finest couture embroidery.
Framing the exquisite composition is a graceful ivory border of rosette bouquets and meandering arabesques, flanked by triple guard bands that echo the motif rhythm with restrained poise. The border acts not merely as a frame but as an architectural flourish—completing the visual symphony with a curated balance of proportion and ornamentation. It is the kind of detail one might find in the design language of luxury maisons, where legacy meets meticulous precision, and every gesture is intentional.
This vintage Tabriz rug is more than a decorative work of art—it is a precious masterpiece of aristocratic sensibility and poetic discipline. Its ethereal palette, refined motifs, and nuanced glimmer evoke the subtle glamour of a tailored silk gown or the soft rustle of a curated drawing room. Whether gracing a grand salon or an intimate library, this exceptional woven wonder offers a timeless invitation into a world where elegance is effortless and beauty is eternal.
