Origin and Weaving Tradition

Tabriz is a long-established workshop city of the Persian rug tradition. By the mid-twentieth century, alongside the city's atelier production, a parallel body of more workmanlike pieces emerged — generous formats, wool pile, classical compositions worked at a relaxed knot density.

This is a vintage piece, approx. 50–70 years old, hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation. The pile is vegetable-dyed wool. Age, use and washing have settled it into a soft, muted palette.

Colour and Composition

The design is a classical Tabriz allover floral — palmettes, blossoms and vine-leaves spread across the full field, with no central medallion — in an almost monochromatic, muted palette. Beige carries the entire piece, with subtle tonal variation in greige and taupe rather than colour contrast.

Condition

Very good condition for its age.

Presence in the Room

At 245 × 285 cm (6.98 m², approx. 8 × 9 ft) the near-square piece anchors a full living-room seating group, fits a dining table with chairs pulled back, or works in an open-plan space. The wool pile is suited to everyday use. Use a non-slip pad on smooth flooring; suitable above underfloor heating. A near-monochromatic palette like this one works well in minimalist or contemporary interiors, where the piece becomes a quiet ground rather than a focal point.
