Tabriz Floral Medallion Ivory

Tabriz, the historic capital of Persian carpet weaving in northwestern Iran, has long been revered for its masterful draughtsmanship and refined curvilinear designs, producing pieces that have graced palaces and distinguished collections for centuries. This substantial antique example presents a classic central medallion composition set against a luminous ivory field, where an intricate network of Shah Abbasi palmettes, vine scrolls, and lotus blossoms unfolds in harmonious symmetry; the palette has softened through age to reveal ethereal tones of dusty blue, warm taupe, and charcoal that drift across the cream ground like watercolour washes, while multiple guard borders frame the composition with delicate floral meanders. A piece of quiet grandeur and museum-worthy patina, suited to collectors who appreciate the meditative beauty of time-worn Persian artistry.
