Antique Tabriz – Silk Room Size Silk Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional Persian silk carpet originates from the renowned weaving center of Tabriz, celebrated globally for producing some of the finest antique rugs of the 20th century. The luxurious silk pile, characteristic of high-status Tabriz production, imparts a magnificent sheen and exceptional clarity to the intricate design work.
The field presents a luminous, finely detailed composition set against a delicate ivory color ground, which allows the secondary colors—rich terracotta, soft sage, and deep cerulean blue—to truly resonate. The design is dominated by an elaborate central medallion and corresponding corner spandrels, executed with remarkable precision.
Within the main field, a dense yet balanced array of stylized palmettes, scrolling vines, and delicate blossoms creates a sophisticated garden scene. This masterful use of floral designs reflects the classical Persian tradition, where nature’s bounty is rendered with poetic symmetry and vibrant detail.
Woven to a substantial room size, this silk Tabriz is perfectly scaled for a grand salon or formal dining space, offering both visual impact and tactile luxury. The rug’s excellent preservation and sophisticated palette make it a distinguished centerpiece, embodying the enduring artistry of early 20th-century Persian weaving.
