Tabriz Farshchian Tableau Rug
3 × 4 ft · 80 × 105 cm · Wall Hanging
A new hand-knotted tableau rug from Tabriz, based on a work by Mahmoud Farshchian — a textile picture to be hung and looked at like a painting.
A Tableau Rug after Mahmoud Farshchian
This is a tableau rug — a pictorial composition woven to be hung and read like a painting rather than walked upon. The motif is based on a work by Mahmoud Farshchian, a contemporary painter in the Persian miniature tradition, whose lyrical, movement-filled compositions have been translated into hand-knotted rugs by Tabriz ateliers for decades. The scene shows a central female figure with a fawn, doves in flight, flowering branches and a swirling sky.
The piece is hand-knotted in Tabriz, in wool on a cotton foundation, at 60 raj (approx. 640,000 knots per m², approx. 413 kpsi).
The Tableau Tradition
A tableau (or tablou) rug is a textile picture. Unlike a floor rug, it is composed and oriented to be seen on the wall, often framed or hung as a centrepiece. The genre emerged in Iran in the late nineteenth century, drawing on the European tradition of pictorial tapestries while remaining technically a knotted carpet. Tabriz workshops produce tableau rugs after Persian miniatures, classical paintings and modern works such as Farshchian's.
Colour and Composition
The picture is set in an oval cartouche on a gold-ochre ground. At its centre, a young woman with long dark hair in flowing blue-and-white robes leans against a fawn, surrounded by white doves in flight. Flowering branches in coral and rose fill the left; swirling cloud-and-wind forms in royal blue and cream rise above; a fiery phoenix-like bird glows in orange and red at the lower right. The palette runs through gold-ochre, royal blue, cream and white, emerald and leaf-green, coral-rose and orange-red. At 60 raj the knotting allows detail in faces, feathers and drapery.
Placement and Display
At 80 × 105 cm (0.84 m²) the piece is sized for wall display. Three ways it shows best:
- Framed wall piece: mounted in a wood or metal box frame as a textile artwork — the way tableau rugs are most often presented.
- Hung as a centrepiece: on a single wall using a textile-friendly hanging system, read at conversational distance like a painting.
- Study or gallery wall: in a study or a considered interior, where the drawing rewards close looking.
Indirect light suits the wool surface best — strong direct sunlight should be avoided over the years to preserve colour saturation. The piece is not intended for floor use.
