Antique Tabriz Small Scatter Size Wool Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exquisite late 19th-century Tabriz piece showcases the refined weaving traditions of Northwest Persia. The field is dominated by a luminous, aged ivory ground, which provides a delicate contrast to the complex palette of deep reds, blues, and subtle ochres used throughout the repeating motifs.
The intricate composition utilizes a dense, highly detailed allover pattern of stylized palmettes and geometric vines, characteristic of the city’s finest workshop output. This continuous design ensures visual balance and depth, drawing the eye across the entire surface without the distraction of a central medallion.
Woven in a versatile small scatter size, this rug is perfectly suited for intimate spaces, hallways, or as an accent piece layered over larger flooring. The clarity of the design, despite its scale, speaks to the exceptional knot density and the mastery of the weavers during this golden age of Persian production.
As a genuine example of antique rugs from the Qajar period, this Tabriz retains excellent wool quality and rich, organic dyes that have mellowed beautifully over more than a century. It represents a superb investment in textile history and enduring decorative artistry.
