Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, Country of Origin: Persia– Renowned for one of the most venerable weaving traditions in Persia, the carpets of Tabriz represent a tradition reaching back some five hundred years or more. This sumptuous antique Persian Tabriz rug has a complex trellis design of golden palmettes and vines in an allover diamond configuration. Fine floral sprays fill the intervening space against a deep beige ground. The main border is a classic arabesque vine scroll in gray on rust, reversing the color scheme of the field. The lustrous wool sets off the color scheme to great effect, giving it the appearance gold and lapis lazuli jewels.

The sumptuous midnight blue background highlights the exquisite trellis vase design of this spectacular late 19th century antique Persian Tabriz rug. This antique Persian rug was produced during the Persian Qajar Dynasty that ruled the modern day country Iran from the late 18th century to the early 20th century. It was known as Sublime State of Persia and was time of wealth and grandeur, as is reflected by this fine piece of artwork from the time period.
