Description
Elegant vintage Tabatabai Tabriz carpet from northern Persia.
Medallion and floral motif with deep indigo blues, pastels, light greens and apricot in the range of colors.
Carpet has some abrash — which is rare in area rugs — much more common in village rugs. Abrash is a shift in colors when the weaver changes wool dye batches to weave in slightly color. The weaver is painting in wool! You can see the abrash in the center medallion.
Tabriz carpets can display many different unique designs but most of the time the pattern in a Tabatabaie rug is filled with dense floral motifs, including large palmettes, vases, foliage, and small flowers. Garden elements are scattered into the weaving.
The quality is exceptional in Tabatabai Tabriz handmade carpets.
Excellent overall condition with some minor wear. Very elegant and cheerful rug!
This is a very solid and rigid rug that can be used anywhere in a home — and even under a table.
Wool pile on cotton warp and weft. The cotton fringes and side cords are in fantastic condition.
Exact size is 11 ft. by 8 ft. 2 in. 1960s .
Tabriz carpets are part of the Azerbaijan weaving tradition within modern Persia. It is one of the oldest rug weaving centers in the world and makes a huge diversity of types of handmade rugs.
The rugs of Tabriz — and especially the Tabatabie Tabriz — are among the most beautiful and most desirable of Persian rugs, and have been manufactured in the Azeri speaking area of Northern Iran continuously for centuries.
Last photo with the antique Morgan silver dollar shows the back of the rug.
