Antique Persian Tabriz handmade rug 309 x 404 cm 1900s - 1C1209

A magnificent antique Persian Tabriz rug from the early 1900s, representing over a century of Persian weaving excellence. This exceptional hand-knotted wool masterpiece showcases the sophisticated artistry and technical mastery that made Tabriz one of Persia's most celebrated weaving centers. The impressive room-size dimensions and intricate all-over design make this a truly remarkable example of turn-of-the-century Persian carpet weaving. The rug features an exquisite all-over floral design on a rich crimson red field, densely populated with gracefully curving vines, palmettes, rosettes, and botanical motifs rendered in a refined palette of soft beige, sky blue, cream, and touches of green. A subtle central medallion emerges from the flowing floral pattern, demonstrating the weaver's skill in creating depth and focal points within an elaborate overall composition. The wide ivory borders display classic Persian design elements—intricate scrolling vines, palmettes, and floral sprays in harmonious colors that complement the central field. Multiple guard borders in navy blue and burgundy frame the composition with architectural precision, characteristic of fine Tabriz workmanship. This piece exhibits authentic patina and age wear consistent with its 120+ year history, showing natural distress without any holes—evidence of genuine use and the passage of time that collectors prize. The distressed condition adds character and historical authenticity while the rug remains structurally sound and fully functional. The generous palace-size dimensions make this an extraordinary statement piece for grand interiors or serious collectors of antique Persian carpets.
