About the Item
79165 Signed Vintage Red Persian Javan Tabriz Hunting Rug, 09'05 x 13'08. In the grand tradition of Persian artistry, this hand-knotted wool vintage Tabriz hunting rug stands as a triumph of imagination, power, and elegance—an extraordinary weaving where myth, poetry, and heritage unite. The deep red field unfurls like a royal tapestry of battle and beauty, alive with hunting scenes that capture the timeless nobility of the chase: horsemen mid-gallop, wild animals in pursuit, and blossoms scattered like jeweled echoes of spring.
At the heart rests an ivory cusped lozenge medallion, its form alive with pairings of serpentine dragons and phoenixes. This rare duality of symbols—the dragon embodying strength, protection, and cosmic balance, the phoenix heralding rebirth, wisdom, and immortality—creates a woven allegory of power tempered by transcendence. Surrounding the medallion, the ivory spandrels echo the phoenix motif once more, amplifying the sense of spiritual renewal within a field otherwise dominated by the vitality of the hunt.
What sets this extraordinary masterpiece apart is not only its symbology but also its border of human figures—musicians, courtiers, and dancers—woven in intimate detail, animating the composition with the cadence of Persian courtly life. This rare feature is framed by inner and outer botanical guard borders, their floral meanders lending balance and harmony to the drama within. The presence of a cartouche inscription, discreetly placed at the crown, further elevates this signature piece from mere decoration to signed testament—a declaration of lineage, artistry, and prestige.
To own such an exquisite work of art is to inherit a narrative, a relic of Persian aristocratic taste reserved for only the most discerning patrons. More than a carpet, it is a woven manuscript of myth and memory, offering its collector not only unmatched beauty but also the privilege of stewardship over cultural heritage. Scarce, symbolic, and steeped in meaning, this cherished treasure is destined for those who seek not just luxury, but legacy.
Cartouche Inscription located in the border.
