Antique Persian Tabriz Golden Beige & Brown Handwoven Wool Rug

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
An early 20th century Persian Tabriz rug, the golden beige field with allover rows of delicate brown botehs within a lush beige palmette and flowering vinery border.Tabriz, the capital of the northwestern Iranian province of Azerbaijan, has for centuries enjoyed a great reputation as a center of Persian culture. Under the benign patronage of Shah Abbas the Great (1587-1629), artists and artisans designed illuminated manuscripts, embroidered silks, painted miniatures and fabricated metal work in the Safavid style. It was in this fertile, creative atmosphere that the weavers of Tabriz antique carpets for the Court were inspired to reach for new artistic heights and created exceptional Persian rugs and carpets.
