Description

Dating from the late 19th century this elegant antique Tabriz carpet has gorgeous soft colours, with muted pinks, hints of muted yellow and grey tones. A wonderful palette of natural colours, easy to place in a drawing room, under a dining table or a study. These decorative antique carpets from Tabriz are classical in their look and can work in many rooms. The soft palette is due to the carpets age, woven around circa 1880-1890 the dyes would have been much stronger and fade to give a wonderful saturated feel.

The soft pale blue dyes are exquisite and highlight the carpets stunning central medallion which has beautiful 'Boteh' designs in the medallion. We can see in the main border design the Cartouche which has writing inside, we have been told is a poem, often these appear in antique Persian carpets from the 19th century.
