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 important and technically advanced weaving centers. Executed in an impressive palace-scale rectangular format, it measures approximately 13 ft 7 in x 16 ft 3 in (about 414 x 496 cm), placing it firmly in the oversize category suited to grand interiors. The rug is hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, with a medium pile and dense structure that reflect high-level urban workshop production. As a one-of-a-kind antique, it represents a premium example of large-format Tabriz craftsmanship. Design Analysis The design is a pure allover composition with no central medallion, relying instead on an exceptionally dense network of curvilinear floral scrollwork. Palmettes, rosettes, small blossoms, and lattice-like vine tendrils interlock across the navy field in a continuous, symmetrical rhythm. Multiple borders frame the field, anchored by a wide main border enriched with terracotta and antique gold floral motifs, supported by finely articulated guard borders. The palette is dominated by dark navy blue, contrasted with burnt terracotta and antique gold, and enriched by slate blue, olive green, and umber accents. Mild abrash throughout the navy and warm tones enhances depth and antique character. Weave and Performance Knotted with asymmetrical Persian knots at a fine density estimated between 225–400 KPSI, the rug demonstrates excellent technical precision and structural durability. The pile height of approximately 5 mm produces a smooth, resilient surface with a soft sheen and a balanced, supple handle. A woven cotton foundation with moderate warp depression ensures long-term stability, making the rug appropriate for large formal spaces with low to moderate traffic. Professional Application This oversize Tabriz rug is ideally suited to formal living rooms, grand dining rooms, executive offices, libraries, and gallery-style foyers. Its allover design allows for flexible furniture placement without disrupting the pattern, while the navy, terracotta, and gold palette pairs elegantly with wood paneling, stone floors, and classic architectural detailing. High rarity, prestige, and value retention make it especially attractive for designer-led and collector-grade projects. Condition Care The rug is in excellent antique condition, with even wear consistent with age and no visible repairs, stains, odor, or moth damage. Selvedges and structure remain intact and well preserved. Professional cleaning is recommended, with dye testing prior to wet cleaning and avoidance of strong alkaline products or over-wetting, in accordance with 1stDibs standards for fine antique rugs.
