60874 Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, 07'11 x 10'09.

A testament to timeless Persian artistry and enduring elegance, this hand-knotted wool antique Tabriz rug enchants with its celestial palette and breathtaking artisanship. Washed to whispery softness through an antique wash, its pale verdigris field evokes the patina of aged jade, offering a serene backdrop for a symphony of floral motifs. At its heart lies a classic round medallion, rendered in delicate glaucous and beige tones, encircled by an aura of botanical splendor and anchored by refined palmette pendants. This exquisitely balanced centerpiece becomes a visual sonnet—graceful and timeless—inviting the eye to linger in reverie.

The magnificent field blooms with a dense yet harmoniously spaced composition of stylized palmettes, lotus blossoms, rosettes, lilies, peonies, and sinuous vines, each motif individually knotted with meticulous precision. This painterly garden—crafted by hand with bespoke attention to detail—recalls both the lavish flora of Persian poetry and the whimsical enchantment of a Mughal paradise. The glaucous and pale verdigris tones lend a muted effervescence to the composition, a dreamlike wash of color that speaks to the rug’s archival vintage status and refined, softly structured silhouette.

Elaborate corner spandrels in a pristine beige echo the stately symmetry of the central design while introducing their own rich narrative. Adorned with blooming pomegranates—symbols of fertility and abundance—alongside curled sickle leaves and arabesque foliage, the spandrels honor centuries of Persian iconography. These quadrants serve not only as decorative anchors but also as lyrical transitions, connecting the verdant garden of the field to the grandeur of the border. Each element feels as if drawn by a celestial hand—timeless pieces that balance poetry with precision.

Framing the composition is a sumptuous Shah Abbas palmette border, set against a dark red ground that provides a bold, sophisticated contrast to the airy tones within. Flanked by dual floral meander guard bands, this border celebrates the preeminent craftsmanship and heritage of Tabriz weaving traditions. A true work of art, this rug stands as a rare and exclusive statement of luxury—one that honors legacy, captivates with elegance, and redefines the notion of bespoke textile design.
