This breathtaking antique Persian Tabriz rug is a museum-quality masterpiece and a true collector’s item, offering an incredible glimpse into the pinnacle of early 20th-century weaving. Notably, this exceptional carpet bears the woven signature of the master weaver “Shabestari” (visible at the top edge), elevating its provenance and historical significance. The incredibly dense, formal composition features a mesmerizing, intricate all-over design of sweeping arabesques, interlacing botanical vines, and highly detailed floral palmettes that unfold with unparalleled curvilinear grace and precision.
The deeply saturated color palette is nothing short of majestic. A dramatic, midnight indigo-blue field provides a spectacular, high-contrast backdrop for the luminous motifs rendered in warm gold, soft ivory, pale sage, and muted rose. This regal central canvas is powerfully framed by a magnificent, wide border in antique madder red, densely adorned with repeating floral rosettes and classic scrolling vines.
