Fine Room Size Antique Late 19th Century Classic Ivory Open Field Medallion Persian Tabriz Rug

This magnificent room-sized fine antique Persian Tabriz rug, dating to the late nineteenth century, is a superlative example of the "Open Field" aesthetic—a design philosophy that prioritizes spatial harmony and the purity of color over dense ornamentation. Historically, the city of Tabriz has served as the intellectual heart of Persian rugs and weaving, where master ustads (designers) drew upon centuries of Safavid court traditions to create textiles that mirrored the architectural grandeur of the city’s mosques and palaces. This specific specimen features a classic ivory ground, a choice that was exceptionally rare and prestigious in the 1800s.
