10 x 11 Vintage Persian Tabriz Rug 76452

76452 Vintage Persian Tabriz Rug, 09'11 X 11'02.

This hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Tabriz rug is a masterwork of traditional craftsmanship and aesthetic grandeur, exemplifying the artistry for which Tabriz weavers are renowned. Dominating the composition is a large-scale cusped medallion, intricately outlined with acanthus scrolls and opulent frondescence. The medallion's elaborate contours and detailed ornamentation form a striking contrast against the golden ochre field, making it a focal point that draws the eye inward. This central feature is a classic representation of Persian rug design, where symmetry and balance converge with floral decadence.

The corners of the rug are adorned with equally elaborate spandrels that mirror the complexity and thematic style of the central medallion. These spandrels extend along the edges, filling the corners with dense botanical motifs and acanthus elements, which are emblematic of growth and rejuvenation in Persian iconography. The spandrels' intricate designs are not merely decorative but serve to frame the medallion, enhancing the overall harmony and providing a visual continuity that is both pleasing and deliberate.

Encircling the field is a sophisticated trefoil floral meander border, a testament to the weaver's skill in integrating repeating patterns and fluid design. This main border is meticulously crafted, featuring interconnected floral motifs that resonate with the natural themes found throughout the Tabriz rug. The border's complexity is complemented by the serene background, which helps the floral patterns to stand out while adding a touch of elegance to the rug's perimeter.

This exquisite piece is further defined by its dual guard bands, which flank the main border. These additional decorative bands incorporate smaller-scale floral elements, offering a refined finish that encapsulates the Persian rug’s luxurious aesthetic. The guard bands not only reinforce the structural framework of the design but also enhance the visual depth, making this Tabriz rug a profound statement of artistry and historical significance. Perfect for any collector or decorator seeking to imbue their space with the rich heritage and sublime beauty of Persian woven art.
