Light Ivory Field Rustic Floral Pattern Antique 19th Century Persian Tabriz Rug

Antique Tabriz Persian 1880s Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of weaving from the late Qajar period showcases the refined artistry typical of Iranian / Persian rugs. The Tabriz workshop tradition emphasized technical precision and a sophisticated color palette, evident in the subtle interplay of the field and border. The primary field is dominated by a luminous ivory ground, allowing the delicate, finely drawn botanical elements to surface in soft tones of terracotta, pale blue, and ochre. This graceful, repeating composition utilizes an allover design that avoids a central medallion, creating an expansive and balanced visual flow across the entire surface. A dramatic contrast is established by the wide main border, rendered in a rich, saturated rust hue, featuring classical palmettes and scrolling vine motifs.
