61352 Distressed Vintage Earth-Tone Persian Tabriz Rug, 09'10 x 12'07.
This exceptional hand-knotted wool distressed vintage Persian Tabriz rug exemplifies the serene beauty and understated elegance inherent in traditional Persian textiles. With a design philosophy inspired by Shibui, which celebrates subtle and unobtrusive beauty, the Persian Tabriz rug harmonizes simplicity with sophistication. Its gentle antique wash imparts timeless character while lending a faded grace to its patterns and highlighting the historical artistry.
Peeking through the ethereal backdrop is a faded hooked medallion adorned inside with botanical formations, evoking a sense of relaxed refinement. Anchored with faint palmette pendants, the barely-there central medallion sits within a field of traditional Persian floral motifs. These include blooming palmettes, symbols of eternal life, and lotus blossoms that signify rebirth and immortality, alongside tulips representing prosperity and peonies indicating power. This collection of symbolic flora, rendered in hushed tones, invites contemplation and calm, embodying a design that prioritizes harmony and balance.
Equally concealed corner spandrels whisper tales of the Garden of Paradise, a mythical oasis brimming with life. Here, deer frolic and exotic birds perch among the branches of the tree of life, each stitch a testament to the weaver's skill in capturing the essence of an earthly Eden. This idyllic depiction offers a peaceful respite from the bustle of modern life, making the Tabriz rug not only a decorative piece but also a portal to a more tranquil world.
Framing this Persian tableau is a meticulously crafted floral border, abundant with lotus flowers, peonies, tulips, and rosettes, woven alongside scrolling acanthus leaves. This lush enclosure is further defined by inner and outer guard bands, accented with subsidiary crow's feet guard stripes, which encapsulate the central narrative. This harmonious blend of flora and meticulous framework secures the rug's place as a treasured artifact, offering a subtle yet profound connection to the rich culture of Persian heritage and artistic expression.
