The city of Tabriz in Northwest Persia has long been known as a centre for Persian arts, culture, and literature, but especially for the quality of its carpets, with a tradition dating back as early as the 14th Century. Thanks to its location, incorporating influences from nearby Azerbaijan and Turkey, its weavings are among the most diverse of any city in Persia, and antique Tabriz carpets are especially distinguished by their impressive artistry and close adherence to the traditions of Classical Persian rug weaving design.

This fine early 20th Century example boasts an understared drawing; with a rare salmon-pink field overlayed by an all-over design that repeats creatively across, its palette features hues such as soft sky blue, denim and ivory, all rendered in gracefully aged vegetable-dyed wools and framed with an artistic border of great proportions.

Retained in very good practical condition for everyday use, retaining its original fringes and borders on all sides.

An elegant rug to complement a a variety of interior styles.
