61358 Distressed Antique Earth-Tone Persian Vase Tabriz Rug, 07'09 x 10'07.
This hand-knotted wool distressed antique Persian Tabriz rug embodies the essence of Biophilic design, harmoniously blending the allure of nature with the sophistication of traditional craftsmanship. An antique wash has mellowed its vibrant hues to a serene palette of earth tones, enhancing the visual depth and decorative detail within its elaborate patterns. The distressed field of this exquisite piece is dominated by a faint central medallion, showcasing an intricate arrangement of botanical elements. Trompe l'oeil filigree adorns this medallion, offering an illusion of three-dimensional texture that captivates and enchants the viewer.
Encircling the central medallion, the field is a verdant tableau of floral splendor, where blooming palmettes, lotus blossoms, peonies, and rosettes flourish. These organic motifs are interspersed with hyacinth and sickle leaves, all meticulously woven to dance rhythmically across the muted light green backdrop. This rich assembly of florals not only emphasizes the Persian rug’s organic origins but also creates a dynamic interplay of form and color that is soothing and vibrant.
From each corner and equal intervals along the inner frame, overflowing floral vase motifs emerge, featuring delicate rinceau and acanthus swags that amalgamate seamlessly with the field's dense floral network. These vase motifs, characteristic of the rug's design, add a structured yet flowing element that enhances the entire composition, making each section a reflection of a verdant, blossoming garden.
The framework of this antique Persian Tabriz rug is defined by a dark brown vase border, heavily ornamented with continuous vase and floral motifs that echo the lushness within. This is complemented by a succession of floral meander guard bands, which together encapsulate the grandeur and elegance of the piece. Near the outer guard border, an inscription proudly displays the weaver's signature, adding a personal touch and marking the piece as an authentic work of Persian craftsmanship. The resulting design is a testament to the weaver’s skill, offering a piece that exudes quiet sophistication and relaxed refinement, perfect for adding a touch of laid-back luxury and timeless charm to almost any modern rustic or traditional setting.
