Antique Tabriz Floral Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exquisite piece represents the height of 19th-century Persian weaving, showcasing the refined craftsmanship characteristic of the Tabriz weaving tradition during its golden age.
The central design features a powerful, cusped medallion set against a luminous ivory ground, creating a striking contrast with the saturated terracotta and muted blue accents in the surrounding field. The field itself is densely populated with intricate vine work and delicate palmettes, reflecting a sophisticated floral design sensibility.
A series of finely drawn guard borders frame the primary field, utilizing repeating geometric and stylized botanical motifs rendered in deep indigo and soft sage. The overall effect is one of balanced opulence, making this a superb example of collectible antique rugs from the Qajar period.
Hand-knotted with high-quality wool and retaining remarkable color clarity for its age, this piece functions beautifully as a decorative accent. Its manageable (1.09ft x 2.03ft) ensures versatility, allowing this century-old textile to enhance both traditional and contemporary interiors.
