Handwoven Carpet, All-over Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Tabriz, 180 × 280 cm Ref 10500077

This handwoven Tabriz rug with an all-over pictorial design is not only a reflection of the mastery of its weavers but also a visual narrative of myths, history, and the creative imagination of a nation. Measuring 180 × 280 cm (5'11" × 9'2") with an area of 5.04 m² (54.28 ft²), it is well-suited for distinguished and artistic interiors. With a density of approximately 6,200 knots/dm², this exquisite work belongs to the class of highly detailed rugs, where every knot, like a precise rhythm, is consciously and harmoniously placed upon the warp and weft. The rug depicts a scene that appears to be a courtly gathering or an important historical event, featuring multiple figures in traditional attire, including a prominent figure seated on a throne-like chair, likely a ruler or a person of high authority. The use of diverse colors throughout the field and border results in a visual composition that is not only captivating but also unfolds before the viewer like a painting of thought and emotion. Undoubtedly, this creation is not only a magnificent adornment for a grand home but also a precious treasure within an artistic collection.
