Description:
Antique Tabriz from Northwest Persia, circa 1900
A classic arabesque medallion design with cornerpieces unfolds across a deep aubergine ground that barely shows amidst the intervening sprawl of leafy vines and palmettes. The border with its numental design of cartouches is equally classic, but the limited color scheme of tans and aubergine, however, departs from the rich palette of classical prototypes, making this piece a supremely decorative carpet.
Tabriz carpets are distinguished by their excellent weave and by their remarkable adherence to the classical traditions of Persian rug design. But they cannot be distinguished by any particular pattern or by their coloration. Tabriz, in northwest Iran, was the earliest capital of the Safavid dynasty, and it can claim to have been a center of carpet production longer than any other city in Iran. Consequently, it is not surprising that the carpets woven there have been able to preserve the highest technical standards and the most varied repetoire. Tabriz rugs offer classical medallion designs and a host of allover patterns as well in every color imaginable, from brilliant rich tones to soft pastels. What sets them apart from other Persian rugs is their quality.
