Antique Handwoven Carpet, Corner Medallion Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Tabriz, 127 × 175 cm Ref 10200015

Among the distinguished works of Iranian art, Tabriz handwoven rugs have always held a special place; and this antique piece with a medallion-and-corner design stands as an eminent example of the splendor of Azerbaijani carpet weaving. In a rectangular form measuring 127 × 175 cm (4'2" × 5'9") with an area of 2.23 m² (24.00 ft²), it was created in the art workshops of Tabriz by weavers whose hands inherit centuries of taste and skill. The use of soft wool with a cotton warp has turned it into a lasting rug with a warm, pleasing handle. The weaving density is approximately 3,300 knots/dm², reflecting a balanced fineness that both ensures durability and clearly presents the beauty of the design. The medallion-and-corner layout, centered with mythical floral motifs and corners conceived with an imaginative freshness, recalls a vision of balance and harmony in nature. The copper-toned field and border lend an authentic warmth to the composition, creating a piece that, while antique, remains vivid and inspiring. The designer of this work, Haj Jalili—one of the renowned figures of Tabriz carpet art—has, with a deep and artistic eye, succeeded in bringing pattern and color into complete accord. This rug is not merely a floor covering but a fragment of history: a silent yet eloquent narrative that, in its quiet, tells a story of beauty, patience, and love for the art. For those seeking a union of authenticity and finesse, this piece is an unparalleled choice.
