About the Item

Technical Overview This antique Persian Tabriz rug dates to the late 19th century, circa 1870–1890, and originates from Tabriz, one of Iran’s most prestigious urban weaving centers. Produced in a standard large rectangular format, it measures approximately 9 ft 7 in x 13 ft 0 in (about 292 x 396 cm), making it well suited for formal room-scale applications. The rug is hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, with a medium pile that reflects refined city workmanship and durable construction. As a one-of-a-kind antique, it represents a high-grade example of classic Tabriz production. Design Analysis The design presents a dense allover floral composition with subtle central emphasis rather than a strongly defined medallion. Curvilinear palmettes, layered rosettes, leaf scrolls, cloudbands, and arabesques interlock across the field in a continuous, flowing rhythm. Multiple borders frame the composition, anchored by a wide main border enriched with floral cartouches and supported by several finely detailed guard borders. The palette centers on a deep navy blue field contrasted by warm terracotta borders and accents, softened by pale apricot beige, sage green, dusty salmon, and sand tones. Mild abrash is visible in the navy and terracotta areas, adding depth and antique character. Weave and Performance Knotted with asymmetrical Persian knots at a fine density of approximately 200–350 KPSI, the rug exhibits precise execution and excellent structural integrity. The pile height of about 5 mm creates a smooth, resilient surface with noticeable sheen and a balanced handle. A deeply depressed cotton foundation contributes to stability and longevity, making the rug appropriate for low to moderate traffic environments such as formal living rooms, dining rooms, libraries, and primary bedrooms. Professional Application This Tabriz rug is ideal for elegant, traditional, and formal interiors that favor intricate patterning and a darker, moody palette. Its large scale anchors full seating arrangements or dining tables, while the navy and terracotta coloration pairs naturally with dark woods, antiques, and neutral architectural finishes. With high rarity, prestige, and value retention, it supports both decorative impact and long-term collector-oriented design strategies. Condition Care The rug is in excellent antique condition, with even wear consistent with age and no visible repairs, stains, odors, or moth damage. Selvedges remain original and intact, and the pile is well preserved for its period. Professional cleaning is recommended, with dye testing prior to wet cleaning and avoidance of strong alkaline products or prolonged moisture exposure, in line with 1stDibs standards for fine antique rugs.
