Tabriz rug

The elegance conveyed within this Tabriz carpet, balancing open spaces with areas of finely detailed and precise drawing and composed in mellow harmonious tones has made these antique Persian carpets some of the most sought after pieces on the market. With such prominence, however, has come a host of poor imitations purporting to be of the same quality. In recent years a flood of newer twentieth-century pieces, lacking the character and spirit of examples from the nineteenth, have been chemically faded in an attempt to mimic the subtle palette of genuine older nineteenth-century Tabriz carpets. Inevitably, they fail to do so. This piece is the real deal.
