Vintage Persian Tabriz Brown Handmade Wool Rug

An early 20th century Persian Tabriz rug, the abrashed pale rust field with an allover trellis design of medallions, leafy vinery and small palmettes with a light brown and a scrolling split-leaf tendril border.

Quotes from owner Nader Bolour taken from the blog of CJ Dellatore:

"Searching for an antique rug is where the design process begins for most. They are the soul of a room, all the other elements of a well-appointed space are there to celebrate it."

"While many Tabriz rugs have central medallions with symmetrical designs - and typical coloration based in reds and blues, this rug is woven quite differently. It's a true work of art. The muted rose background, and range of colors, coupled with the asymmetry of the gardens, borders, poems and prayers amalgamated within make it a remarkable specimen. It's subtle, and exceptionally sophisticated."

"When I consider making a purchase of an Persian rug such as this, I envision a designer who will respond to it. I've learned over the years that provenance is far less important than aesthetics - and the visceral reaction a designer has to the color, abrash, motifs, and subtle nuances in the overall design."
