About the Item

Light blue is always popular and on this late 19th century urban Tabriz carpet the field show through the openwork medallion, corners and even the main border of palmettes and cypresses. The plain blue outer band continues the basic tonality in a slightly different hue. The decoration is airy and windblown, without effort or deliberate contrast. Measures: 10'2" x 17'9". Antique Tabriz Large Room Size Wool Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional Persian weaving hails from the renowned workshops of Azerbaijan, embodying the refined technical skill characteristic of Tabriz rugs during the late Qajar period. The design is executed in the classic curvilinear style, featuring highly detailed, delicate drawing that speaks to the sophistication of its provenance. The expansive field is dominated by a breathtaking, saturated robin's egg blue, a highly sought-after shade among blue color rugs. This serene ground provides a perfect counterpoint to the central, open-format medallion and the surrounding, sparsely placed sprays of stylized blossoms. The overall aesthetic leans toward an elegant garden design, typical of floral rugs from this era, where the negative space is utilized to enhance the lightness of the pattern. Woven in fine wool, the structure of this piece remains remarkably intact, a testament to its quality and careful preservation over more than a century. Its generous dimensions classify it as a true room size rugs, making it ideal for anchoring a large living space, dining room, or grand salon where its scale can be fully appreciated. The secondary palette, featuring soft terracotta, pale gold, and subtle rose accents, complements the primary blue field beautifully, defining the intricate border system. This piece represents not only a masterful example of late 19th-century Persian artistry but also a valuable addition to any collection of high-quality antique rugs seeking historical depth and exceptional color.
