Object History
The weavers would have used what was known as a ‘cartoon’ which was a drawing to make sure the symmetry was near perfect, as you would have had maybe 5-6 weavers working on this carpet at one time. It would have taken over a year to weave maybe even two years. Such an amazing carpet in very good condition, no large areas of damage just some minimal wear due to the carpets age. In general it is in honest original condition and very useable for a dining room, drawing room, study, bedroom…the possibilities of where to use this remarkable carpet are endless.

Tabriz carpets from Northwest Persia are distinguished by their excellent weave and by their remarkable adherence to the classical traditions of Persian rug design, but they cannot be distinguished by any particular pattern or by their coloration. Tabriz rugs offer classical medallion designs and a host of allover patterns as well in every color imaginable, from brilliant rich tones to soft pastels. As well as pictorial or hunting designs such as this beautiful carpet.
