Large Room Size Antique Finely Woven Floral Cypress Tree Persian Tabriz Garden Deign Carpet

$37,500.00

This nineteenth-century fine floral northwestern Persian Tabriz carpet is a monumental achievement of urban weaving, representing the peak of the Azerbaijani workshop tradition. The city of Tabriz, located on the ancient Silk Road, has long been the intellectual heart of Persian carpets and design, and this large room-size specimen showcases the city's ability to translate complex philosophical themes into a grand architectural textile. The composition is centered upon a majestic floral garden and cypress trees design motif, a layout known as the Bagh or "Paradise Garden." The Cypress tree (Sarv) is the primary protagonist of the field—an ancient symbol of eternal life, endurance, and grace. Here, the trees are rendered with a sophisticated verticality, interspersed with a rhythmic lattice of blossoming fruit trees, weeping willows, and delicate floral sprays.
