This old Tabriz carpet dates from the 1920 period and displays an all over Garrus or Split arabesque design. Organic dyes create a vivid red ground that is flanked by navy borders, incorporating soft blue and cream tones across the intricate floral motifs. The wool textile exhibits a mostly thick pile with a few very local lower areas, while the ends and sides are newly secured following a deep clean. Measuring 338 cm high and 256 cm wide, the rectangular floor covering suits a generous living room, dining room or study, where it provides both warmth and traditional pattern underfoot.

FAQs

Tabriz carpets originate from the historic weaving centre of Tabriz in northwestern Iran. They are renowned for their refined craftsmanship, high knot density, and balanced compositions ranging from intricate floral arabesques and palmettes to central medallion patterns.

Traditionally, Tabriz carpets are hand-knotted using a fine wool pile spun onto a durable cotton or silk warp and weft foundation. The precision of the knotting allows for highly detailed, curvilinear decorative motifs.

Authentic pieces exhibit precise hand-knotting visible on the reverse side, natural dye tonal variations known as abrash, and short cut wool pile. The foundation typically consists of tightly spun cotton, and the design detail remains crisp across the entire field.

A large Persian carpet serves as an anchoring element in a living room, dining room, or library. The complex floral pattern and rich colours contrast effectively against neutral contemporary upholstery or traditional dark wood furniture.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating beater bar to prevent fibre damage. Rotate the carpet annually to distribute foot traffic evenly, treat spills immediately with cold water and a clean cloth, and utilise specialist hand-washing services for deep cleaning.
