Old Handwoven Carpet, Medallion Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Tabriz, 140 × 210 cm Ref 10200022

This antique handwoven Tabriz rug with a stately medallion design, in a rectangular format of 140 × 210 cm (4'7" × 6'11") and an area of 2.94 m² (31.65 ft²), presents an authentic reflection of the taste and mastery of Tabriz weavers. A madder-red field—one of the most distinguished and time-honored hues in classical Tabriz rugs—paired with a multicolored border creates a measured, harmonious structure that invites the eye to a feast of color and motif. Within the central medallion, animal motifs are interlaced with special finesse, recalling ancient tales and mythic symbols of Iran. Crafted with a wool pile and a thread warp, this distinguished piece offers both durability and pleasing softness. With a weaving density of about 4,100 knots/dm², it belongs to the relatively fine category—rugs that carry high artistic value while remaining well suited to everyday use in classic, characterful interiors. More than a floor covering, this rug is a mirror of Iranian culture and discernment—a heritage piece that, with an informed eye, can still shine like a gem in contemporary décor.
