Tabriz, the historic weaving capital of northwestern Iran, produced some of the most technically refined and design-rich carpets in the Islamic world, with its workshops bridging courtly Persian classicism and vigorous regional expression across centuries of unbroken tradition.
This runner presents an open sage grey-green field animated by a continuous central vine column that ascends the full 295 cm length, branching into loosely rendered palmette rosettes, tulip-form buds, multi-petal florettes, and scrolling arabesques executed in a palette of rose pink, crimson red, cobalt blue, soft peach, and ivory against the cool mineral ground — a chromatic sensibility characteristic of later twentieth-century Tabriz production that favoured airy, light-reflective backgrounds over the saturated grounds of earlier classical pieces.
The border system is restrained and well-proportioned: an ivory inner guard with delicate reciprocal motifs frames the field, while the outer border carries a pink-red running pattern with diagonal accent strokes, grounding the composition without competing with the field's botanical abundance. The piece carries the quiet authority of a workshop rug made with genuine hand-knotted craft — an elongated gallery runner whose botanical freedom and cool palette suit a considered interior where restraint and ornament are held in careful balance.
One-of-one hand-knotted weaves steeped in nomadic heritage.

Hand-spun mountain wool thrives in busy rooms.

Organic root and mineral dyes age with grace.

Woven from memory, so every rug is one of a kind.

Originally woven to endure mountain migrations, genuine tribal rugs are among the most resilient, low-maintenance pieces you can place on a floor.
Geometric medallions and rich abrash naturally disguise footprints, pet hair, and daily wear between cleanings.
Reinforced wool selvedges and hand-knotted foundations lie flat and hold firm for 50 to 100+ years.
Dense, springy mountain wool insulates cool tile or stone floors and absorbs ambient room noise.
