7 x 9 Antique Persian Tabriz Rug 79262

79262 Distressed Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, 06'07 x 09'05.

Woven with celestial intention in the heart of early 20th-century Persia, this hand-knotted wool antique Tabriz rug is an exclusive work of enduring legacy and exquisite artisanship. Its composition is anchored by an octofoil star medallion, where a regal central rosette radiates outward and is gently embraced by trefoil pendants—each motif a tribute to the grandeur of Safavid court aesthetics. The distressed texture, earned over a century of graceful aging, enhances its archival prestige and evokes the romantic patina of timeworn beauty. This is not merely a floor covering; it is a masterpiece of cultural continuity, a rare relic that whispers stories of dynastic opulence and boundless creativity.

Beneath the medallion’s celestial geometry lies a midnight sapphire-hued field, a canvas alive with meticulously rendered palmettes, lotus blossoms, serrated leaves, and hyacinths, all interwoven with angular vinery and symbolic rosettes. Each floral element—imbued with meanings of fertility, immortality, beauty, and renewal—forms a poetic landscape of Persian botanical philosophy. The asymmetrical flow of foliage gives the rug a painterly sensibility, echoing the hand of a master artist rather than a rigid blueprint. This is a high-end collector's treasure—a one-of-a-kind creation where heritage and inventiveness meet, bringing soulfulness to curated interiors.

The opulence continues at the perimeter, where a commanding red cartouche border frames the composition with an imperial tone. Within each of the ivory corner cartouches, rosettes and tulips bloom eternally, symbols of youth, prosperity, and enduring love. The final flourish: an outer ivory guard border, meticulously embellished with rectilinear floral motifs and flanked by angular floral meander bands—an exquisite example of design precision and historic Persian symbolism. The interplay between structured geometry and flourishing flora achieves a perfect equilibrium of form and effervescence, mirroring the dual nature of Persian art: ordered yet lyrical, restrained yet extravagant.

To own this magnificent work of art is to acquire not just an object, but a timeless piece of cultural patrimony, handcrafted in the twilight of empire and passed through generations as a testament to luxury, rarity, and refined living. Its presence transforms a space into a sanctuary—a tribute to heritage, imagination, and elite artistry. This is not merely a rug. It is a bespoke experience, a high-precision textile sculpture, and an unparalleled legacy woven for those who collect with purpose and live with distinction.
