Antique Tabriz Carpet

19th century
Description

A stunning all over design antique Persian Tabriz carpet woven around 1890-1900 with soft saturated dyes.  Woven with a version of the famous Zil-e Sultan design.  Zil-e was the eldest son to the Shah of Persia around circa 1840.  Zil-e was not in-line to the throne and did not have his own royal symbol so he designed his own which is the repeating design we see in the main field design of this huge antique carpet.

The Zil-e design consists of a vase of flowers with two small birds sitting either side.  The repeating all over design is extremely intricate and complicated to weave and is a marvel of the workmanship they could produce.  This enormous large Tabriz carpet would have taken years to weave and produce all the dyed wool.  Weavers would use a drawing known as a cartoon, so they knew where each knot would go to produce quality fine carpets.

Condition is very good, in general it has a nice soft wool pile all-over, minor preservation has taken place.  This 120 year old carpet has been used every day, acquired from a large private estate, it has been well used but looked after.

We offer the service of viewing any of our rare antique carpets anywhere in the UK, having travelled as far as Scotland and Ireland over the last 30 years.  Request a Home Visit to view this exceptional large Tabriz carpet at home, let us know your preferred day and time and we shall get back to you to confirm.

FAQs

Originating from the city of Tabriz in northwestern Iran, these carpets are characterised by high knot density, fine weave quality, and diverse design repertoires ranging from central medallions to overall floral patterns.

Tabriz carpets are typically crafted with a high-grade wool pile hand-knotted onto a durable cotton or silk foundation, yielding a refined texture and crisp design definition.

Authentic pieces exhibit precise symmetrical or asymmetrical knotting, a relatively thin pile with detailed patterning, natural dye variations known as abrash, and soft structural flexibility.

Positioning a detailed Persian carpet beneath contemporary furniture creates a balanced contrast, anchoring living rooms or dining areas with visual grounding and warmth.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating beater bar, rotate the carpet annually to distribute foot traffic evenly, and consult a specialist restorer for spot cleaning.
