76286 Vintage Persian Tabriz Hunting Rug, 09'07 x 12'10.
This exceptional hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Tabriz rug is an exquisite narrative tapestry—a masterwork of heritage and haute artistry, where courtly elegance meets poetic wilderness. At its heart lies a sky blue central medallion, exquisitely framed by undulating arabesque acanthus scrollwork, anchoring the composition in regal symmetry and evoking the architectural grandeur of Safavid-era design.
Set against a lustrous rust-colored field, this extraordinary work of art blossoms with an allover tableau that unfurls like a Persian epic. Blooming palmettes, lotus blossoms, rosettes, tulips, lilies, and peonies dance among delicate vinery, while a mythic hunting scene emerges from the foliage—lions and antelope, deer and spotted wildcats, and even phoenix-like birds sweep across the composition in a timeless tale of man, nature, and myth. Each motif, hand-knotted with scrupulous attention to detail, speaks to centuries of storytelling encoded in wool and dye.
The majestic composition is framed by an ivory-beige botanical border, resplendent with curved serrated saz leaves, lotus blossoms, and full-bodied peonies—all set in rhythmic balance to create a calming yet noble enclosure. This border is flanked by sky blue floral meander guard bands, adding a final tier of refinement, echoing the grace of flowing water and symbolizing abundance and continuity.
More than an artifact, this rare Tabriz is a statement of cultivated taste, a symbol of noble restraint and wild imagination held in perfect balance. A rug of this caliber is not merely a furnishing—but an heirloom, invested with spiritual resonance, artisanal genius, and social meaning. It is destined for a space where legacy matters, where beauty is both felt and inherited, and where exclusivity is celebrated not for show, but for soul.
