Tabriz Persian Rugs
This remarkable semi antique Tabriz Persian rug measuring 12'3" x 9'4" showcases the renowned Afshan all-over pattern interwoven with elegant Shah Abbasi palmettes, creating a sophisticated tapestry that embodies six decades of Persian artistry. The generous proportions make this piece ideal for anchoring large living rooms or dining areas, where its cream foundation allows the intricate motifs in madder red, burnt orange, gold, forest green, navy blue, and brown to create stunning visual depth across the expansive surface.
From the historic rug-weaving region of Azerbaijan, this Tabriz represents the pinnacle of Persian carpet craftsmanship that has flourished for over four centuries in the ancient city. Master weavers have employed the traditional symmetrical Ghiordes knot technique, combining lustrous wool with cotton foundations to achieve the characteristic durability and refined texture that distinguishes authentic Tabriz carpets. The semi antique status of this 40-60 year old masterpiece adds distinctive character through gentle aging that enhances the natural dye variations.
The Afshan design translates to "scattered" in Persian, featuring an endless garden of stylized flowers and palmettes that flow seamlessly across the field without beginning or end. Shah Abbasi palmettes, named after the great Safavid ruler, represent the highest form of Persian decorative art with their graceful curves and botanical precision. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted rug elevates any interior space with its timeless elegance and masterful execution that can only be achieved through traditional Persian weaving techniques.
The sophisticated color palette begins with a luminous cream ground that provides perfect contrast for the rich madder red and burnt orange highlights, while gold accents add warmth and forest green with navy blue create depth and balance. These natural dyes have mellowed beautifully over the decades, creating subtle variations that give the rug its distinctive patina and character. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional example of Persian weaving heritage.
In contemporary interiors, this substantial 12'3" x 9'4" foot Tabriz serves as both functional art and foundational element, complementing everything from traditional Persian décor to modern minimalist spaces where its refined patterns and balanced colors create sophisticated focal points without overwhelming the room's aesthetic harmony.
