This 3 x 5 Persian Tabriz rug is a finely hand knotted piece showcasing the disciplined artistry and precision for which Tabriz workshops are known. The composition centers on a balanced floral medallion set against a deep ruby field, framed by a carefully proportioned border system. Its compact size makes it ideal for intimate spaces while still delivering the visual presence of a classic Persian design.
Design and Motifs
At the heart of the rug lies a central floral medallion formed by layered rosettes, palmettes, and curling vine work. The surrounding field is filled with repeating floral motifs arranged in a rhythmic lattice, creating movement without overwhelming the medallion. Each element is drawn with clarity, reflecting the refined drawing traditions associated with Tabriz weaving.
Border and Framing
The border structure features a dominant navy main border decorated with continuous floral vines and palmettes. This is supported by multiple ivory and accent guard borders that add depth and definition. The framing creates a strong visual boundary while guiding the eye inward toward the medallion, reinforcing balance and symmetry throughout the piece.
Colors and Their Placement
The primary field color is a rich ruby red that provides warmth and contrast. The medallion and border incorporate deep navy blue, soft ivory, light beige, muted sky blue, and subtle blush accents. These tones are carefully distributed to maintain harmony, with darker shades grounding the design and lighter colors highlighting floral details.
Materials and Craftsmanship
This rug is hand knotted using high quality wool on a traditional foundation, resulting in a dense, durable weave with crisp pattern definition. The pile has a smooth, even finish that reflects skilled craftsmanship and careful finishing. The structure supports long term use while preserving the clarity of the design.
Workshop History
Tabriz has long been regarded as one of the most technically advanced weaving centers in Persia, known for precise knotting, balanced compositions, and enduring quality. Rugs from this region are valued for their structural integrity and timeless aesthetic, making them suitable for both traditional and transitional interiors.
