The city of Tabriz in north west Persia has been a major city of fine rug weaving since the 14th century, possibly earlier. Antique Tabriz carpets are distinguished by their excellent weave and remarkable adherence to the traditions of classical Persian rug design.

This attractive Tabriz carpet has a simple overall monochrome drawing instead of the traditional central medallion motif. The muted blue colour field complements the harmonious variety of colour combinations, framed by over eight creative borders. All the colours are natural vegetable-dyed which have aged nicely.

In very good to excellent condition for everyday use, still retaining its fringes at both ends and borders on all sides.

A handsome example with a quiet formality to complement a wide variety of spaces.
