61354 Distressed Vintage Earth-Tone Persian Tabriz Rug, 09'10 x 12'06.
This distressed vintage Persian Tabriz rug, meticulously hand-knotted from wool, stands as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of traditional Persian weavers. Infused with an antique wash, this Persian masterpiece presents a soft, neutral earth-tone palette that exemplifies laid-back luxury and quiet sophistication. The distinctive Garden Panel Design, also known as Khesti, showcases an enchanting array of life through its finely detailed ogee panels, each a canvas depicting elements of a lush, flourishing garden.
The field of this Persian area rug is a captivating narrative canvas, featuring mythical and natural elements. Lotus blossoms symbolizing purity and beauty, graceful deer and gazelles, and mythical phoenixes represent rebirth and eternity, all harmoniously integrated within the garden's confines. Avian life is vividly illustrated through swans and parrots perched atop floral vases, adding vibrancy and a sense of life to the tranquil garden scene. This portrayal is enriched with tree of life motifs and blooming pomegranates, enhancing the rug's allegorical depiction of paradise.
Adding a layer of cultural depth, this Tabriz pictorial rug includes illustrations from the Shahnama, or Book of Kings, with scenes such as Bahram Gur slaying the dragon, weaving historical tales into its fabric. This integration of folklore underscores the rug's role not just as a piece of decor but as a storyteller's cloth that carries the rich narratives of Persian heritage.
The enclosure of this vintage Persian Tabriz rug mirrors the opulence found within its central tableau. Framed with a cartouche border that echoes the garden's designs, the pictorial carpet is finished with dual floral meander guard bands that enclose this magnificent scene, providing a refined yet robust boundary to the lush garden portrayed. This framework not only complements the central imagery but also enhances the overall aesthetic, making it an exquisite artifact of cultural heritage and a sophisticated addition to any collection.
