Please Note About the Photographs:
In some photos the main field looks red. In person it is a softer salmon pink. This is a lighting difference only, not a variation in the wool or the dyes.
Design and Motifs
The medallion is an 8 pointed star drawn in black with ivory and light blue inside, ringed by palmettes and small flowers. Around it the salmon field is scattered with delicate vines, blossoms and leaves in black, ivory and blue, spaced so the ground color shows through. Apricot corner pieces cut in from each corner, and the wide navy main border carries a running chain of palmettes and flowers between ivory guard stripes. The silk in the pile picks out the finer details with a soft sheen.
Salmon Pink with Navy, Black and Ivory
Salmon pink is the heart of this rug, a warm, gentle color that sits between coral and rose. Deep navy blue and black frame it in the border and draw the medallion, while ivory and beige brighten the flowers and guard stripes. Small touches of red and blue add depth to the vines. It is a softer, lighter take on the classic Tabriz palette, and it works well with cream walls, light wood and both traditional and transitional rooms.
Woven in Tabriz, Northwestern Persia
Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving cities in Persia, and its workshops grade their rugs on the Raj scale, a measure of knot fineness. Browse more from this city in our Persian Tabriz rugs collection. With its silk foundation, wool and silk pile and soft salmon field, this 5' x 6'8" Tabriz shows the refined side of that tradition.
