Handwoven Carpet, Mihrab Layout, All Wool, Tabriz, 295 × 390 cm Ref 11100131

This handwoven Tabriz rug, measuring 295 × 390 cm (9'8" × 12'9") with an area of 11.51 m² (123.89 ft²), is not only visually captivating but also imbued with symbolic and spiritual meaning. Its presence within a space evokes a sense of tranquility. With a weaving density of approximately 5,100 knots/dm², the rug clearly displays the intricacy of its motifs. The mihrab design, rooted in Iranian architecture, is uniquely adorned with animal motifs in this piece—a rare and innovative combination that reflects a multifaceted view of creation and cosmic harmony. The mihrab’s arch rises gracefully, inspired by architectural forms, while the animal figures within seem to portray glimpses of life and movement within a sacred space. A golden field lends radiant warmth and grandeur to the composition, a distinctive color that, in harmony with the madder-red border, bestows the rug with authentic character. The all-wool construction provides natural softness and warmth on the surface while ensuring lasting durability.
