Chinese Tabriz rugs are intricately designed carpets that draw inspiration from the traditional Tabriz rugs of Iran. They are typically handcrafted in China, often in regions known for their rich history of rug making and craftsmanship. These rugs feature elaborate floral motifs, geometric patterns, and intricate medallion designs, echoing the aesthetic of their Persian counterparts. Chinese Tabriz rugs are renowned for their fine quality, attention to detail, and exquisite craftsmanship, making them highly prized by collectors and interior designers alike.

In this hand knotted wool and silk vintage Chinese Tabriz rug, the opulence of Carolean design is beautifully captured through a garden-inspired design. The intricate poly-chromatic cusped medallions, reminiscent of aristocratic elegance, form a captivating lattice pattern that exudes sophistication. Each medallion is adorned with a plethora of blooming palmettes, delicate lotus flowers, and lush floral motifs, evoking the splendor of a royal garden. As if plucked from a painting of the era, cloisonné vases with swirling cloudbands add a touch of exquisite charm to the design.

Encircling this garden tableau is a botanical border teeming with life, featuring vibrant Iris, majestic peonies, and fragrant hyacinths intertwined with millefleur blooms and graceful palmettes. The meticulous attention to detail in the botanical elements reflects the Carolean penchant for ornate decoration and naturalistic forms. Flanked by crenelated fence stripes and meander guard bands, the border further enhances the rug's grandeur, creating a harmonious balance between opulence and refinement.

Crafted with hand-knotted wool and silk, this Chinese Tabriz rug not only embodies the lavish aesthetic of Carolean design but also serves as a testament to the artistry of its makers. With its rich colors, intricate patterns, and luxurious materials, this rug transports viewers to a bygone era of aristocratic splendor, where every detail speaks of sophistication and grandeur.
