This offering includes two completely identical 6'6 x 9'10 Tabriz rugs, an extraordinary rarity in the world of authentic handmade Persian weaving. Because each hand-knotted rug is traditionally made by a single weaver (or a very small team), achieving two rugs with identical design, color balance, knot count, and proportions is almost unheard of. Matching pairs like these were historically produced only for royal residences, palaces, or formal reception halls.

Both rugs are 40 Raj Tabriz weaves, crafted with 70% high-grade wool and 30% silk, giving them precision, sheen, and exceptional durability.

DESIGN & MOTIFS

The rugs feature a classical Tabriz central medallion layout, built around:

• An oval floral medallion in layered pastels and sky-tones

• Surrounding floral clusters with scrolling vinework

• Mirrored corner spandrels that echo the medallion’s palette

• A richly decorated border system composed of rosettes, palmettes, and arabesque vines

These motifs follow the traditional Tabriz aesthetic harmonious, symmetrical, and densely detailed.

Key Motif Elements:

• Central Medallion: Multi-layered floral design framed by a soft cream and powder-blue palette.

• Field: Filled with finely executed boteh, blossoms, palmettes, and vine scrolls.

• Borders: A combination of navy, pink, and ivory florals meticulously arranged in rhythmic symmetry.

• Silk Highlights: Strategic placement of silk in the vines, petals, and medallion contours creates shimmering depth when viewed from different angles.

PATTERNS

The rugs use the classical medallion–field–corner Tabriz structure:

• A symmetrical medallion serves as the centerpiece.

• The field transitions from deep tones to lighter pastels, creating movement and dimension.

• The corner spandrels mirror the medallion’s floral geometry.

• The main border is a richly colored frame featuring repeating floral cartouches.

• All elements tie into a continuous, flowing pattern executed to perfect symmetry in both rugs.

COLOR PALETTE EXPLAINED (WHERE EACH COLOR APPEARS)

1. Deep Navy / Midnight Blue (Primary Field Accents)

Used around the medallion and in the darker portions of the field. Adds dramatic contrast and anchors the composition.

2. Soft Cream / Ivory (Medallion Base + Border Highlights)

Forms the inner shapes of the medallion and corner spandrels. Helps lighten the palette and balance the stronger tones.

3. Powder Blue & Sky Blue (Border Florals + Medallion Layers)

Appears in major floral motifs, especially in paisleys, petals, and border details. Enhances the elegance and “lift” of the design.

4. Light Pink & Rose (Field Florals + Border Motifs)

One of the signature tones of Tabriz. Used extensively in blossoms, vines, and small motifs. Softens the darker portions of the rug.

5. Gold & Tan (Shading + Floral Centers)

Adds warmth and dimension to flowers and scrolls. Often used around navy to give it a glowing effect.

6. Black (Field Depth + Medallion Definition)

A very fine, velvety black is used to define the medallion outline and create depth in the field's negative space.

7. Silk Highlights (Throughout the Rug)

30% silk gives shimmer to:

• Flower petals

• Curved vine scrolls

• Medallion outline

• Border ornaments
  This creates a luxurious shift in tone depending on lighting and viewing angle.

WHY TWO IDENTICAL PIECES ARE EXTRAORDINARY

Handmade rugs are produced knot by knot. Even rugs woven from the same cartoon (design blueprint) will vary slightly in:

• Tension

• Color saturation

• Minor design deviations

• Final dimensions

Creating two rugs that match perfectly requires:

• Multiple weavers working side by side

• Identical wool batches

• Identical dye lots

• Precise knotting discipline
