About the Item

The city of Tabriz has been a major artistic hub since the 1500s, when the Safavid dynasty established it as a center for royal workshops. These workshops produced some of the most influential designs in carpet history—lush floral palmettes, flowing vine scrolls, cloud bands, and symbolic blossoms representing rebirth, harmony, and paradise. Mid-20th-century weavers drew directly from this legacy. After the disruptions of the early 1900s, Tabriz entered a new golden age: skilled designers revived classical patterns, improved wool quality, and introduced tighter knotting techniques to bring historic motifs into the modern era. The result was a generation of rugs—like this one—that honored tradition while achieving an exceptional level of precision. Design Features of This Rug This carpet displays the hallmarks of that revival: A rich and saturated red field, a classic Tabriz palette derived from historic dye traditions. An intricate all-over floral pattern, inspired by early Persian garden symbolism rather than a single central medallion. Palmettes, rosettes, lotus motifs, and scrolling vines, each drawn with crisp mid-century refinement. A beautifully balanced cream border with repeating blossoms that frame the composition and echo 19th-century workshop aesthetics. The combination of densely packed ornamentation and clear visual rhythm reflects the high artistic standards of Tabriz weaving during this period. Mint Condition – A Rare Find Rugs of this age are seldom found in such pristine form. The fibers retain their original luster, the colors remain vibrant, and the pattern shows no signs of wear or distortion. Its preservation allows the viewer to appreciate the full technical mastery—tight knotting, perfect symmetry, and harmonious composition—that defined mid-century Tabriz production. A Collectible Statement Piece: For collectors, designers, and enthusiasts of Persian art, this rug represents: A direct continuation of classical Safavid design. The artistry of Tabriz’s 20th-century revival. A functional, durable floor textile. A work of cultural heritage worthy of display. Size: 9'x12'3"

Antique Persian Serapi Carpet, Handmade Wool Oriental Rug Ivory, Rust
Located in Port Washington, NY
Extremely Rare size, which leads us to believe this carpet originally was a custom order for a Nobel Family. Antique Serapi carpets are one of the most sought after rugs particularly in America and England for many years. Antique Serapi rugs are a major draw particularly in big city America. Serapi carpets were woven on the level of small workshop with multiple weavers working several years to complete each rug. Highly skilled artisans, they continually reinterpreted the design as they wove, creating highly spontaneous and inventive artistry. Measures: 16'2" x 18'2". Serapi is a term that is a mystery in the Persian antique carpet market. There is no location or tribe of this name. Sarab, also spelled Saab, a town in northwestern Persia, is known for weaving only runners with a camel hair pile during the nineteenth century. "Serapi" may be a nickname given by American dealers...
