Fine Antique Late 19th Century Large Red Classic Paisley Persian Open Field Medallion Tabriz Rug

$42,000.00

This magnificent late 19th-century fine red Persian Tabriz rug is a sophisticated exemplar of the "open field" aesthetic, masterfully integrating the classical medallion format with the ancient, symbolic Boteh—commonly known in the West as the Paisley motif. As a primary hub of the Silk Road, the city of Tabriz served as the artistic crucible where the mathematical precision of Persian court weaving met the diverse decorative influences of the East and West. This particular specimen is a product of the late Qajar dynasty, a period of profound artistic revival when master weavers sought to refine the grandeur of the Safavid "Golden Age" for the discerning international collectors of the Victorian era.
