About the Item
78772 Antique Black Persian Tabriz Hunting Rug, 03'11 x 06'09. Safavid "Medallion and Animal" Persian Tabriz carpets are a type of Persian rug characterized by a central medallion motif, intricate scrolling vines, and depictions of animals in the field. These carpets are significant for their association with the Safavid dynasty, a golden age of Persian art and culture during the 16th and 17th centuries. They were made primarily in the city of Tabriz, a center of Persian carpet weaving known for its skilled artisans and rich artistic tradition. The carpets served as luxurious floor coverings in royal courts and affluent households, reflecting the wealth and sophistication of the Safavid era. Beyond their decorative function, these carpets also hold historical and cultural significance, representing the pinnacle of Persian carpet weaving and craftsmanship during the Safavid period. Today, they are prized by collectors and enthusiasts for their beauty, historical value, and artistic merit.
In the enchanted halls where dreams of collectors and connoisseurs converge, a tale unfolds—a tale woven into the very fabric of this antique Persian Tabriz hunting rug, its hand-knotted wool threads whispering secrets of epochs past. Within its intricate patterns lie echoes of grandeur and myth, evoking the opulence of the Royal Courts of the Persian Empire. Each stroke of the artisan's hand is a tribute to a bygone era—a testament to the timeless elegance immortalized in every meticulous detail. Behold its splendor, and you shall witness a world alive with narrative, where hunting scenes are not mere depictions but tributes to legends, poems, and tales spun through the annals of time.
Against a backdrop as dark as the midnight sky, the stage is set for a dance of shadows and moonlit marvels. Here, amidst a verdant forest teeming with life, predators and prey engage in a ballet as old as time itself—a delicate balance between the regal lions, swift antelopes, and elusive leopards. Amidst blooming palmettes, lotus blossoms, and lush vegetation, the eternal struggle of hunter and hunted unfolds beneath the gentle glow of the moon's reflection, each thread a silent witness to the symphony of life and death. This prolific tableau serves as a poignant reminder—a reminder that in the grand mosaic of existence, the pursuit of sustenance and survival binds all creatures, mortal and mystical alike, in an eternal embrace.
Yet, within the borders of this enchanted realm lies another world of fascination—a realm where intricacy meets artistry in a dance of boundless beauty. Anchored by a cusped medallion and adorned with palmette pendants and corner spandrels, the rug's central motif casts its spell, weaving an ethereal tableau that mirrors the mysteries of the forest canopy above. But delve deeper, dear traveler, and you shall discover a meandering rosette main border flanked by double floral meander guard borders—a testament to the naturalist splendor that surrounds us, a celebration of the timeless union between humanity and the wild.
Rendered in variegated shades of black, rust, beige, red, rose, sky blue, gold, green, tan, and brown with other accent colors.
