Old Handwoven Carpet, All-over Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Tabriz, 252 × 365 cm Ref 10900096

This Tabriz handwoven rug in an all-over design measures 252 × 365 cm (8'3" × 12'0") with an area of 9.2 m² (99.03 ft²), offering a presence that fills the room with meaning. A knot density of approximately 2,500 knots/dm² delivers a bolder, highly legible weave—an intentional choice for a design that prioritizes atmosphere and spatial feeling over miniature-like detailing. The zirkhaki (“unearthed”) motif evokes long-forgotten patterns from pottery, stone carvings, and arts once buried in the soil of civilization—as if an ancient artifact has surfaced to speak of past grandeur. A cream field paired with a blue border creates a calm, classical balance. The wool pile with cotton warps provides a traditional, warm, and durable construction that gains authenticity and value as time passes.
