Old Handwoven Carpet, Medallion Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Tabriz, 145 × 215 cm Ref 10300044

This handwoven rug, measuring 145 × 215 cm (4'9" × 7'1") with an area of 3.12 m² (33.58 ft²), is a showcase of the grandeur of Tabriz carpet weaving—a city long renowned for fineness, geometric order, and innovation in color. With an approximate density of 5,100 knots/dm², the piece affirms its fine construction and delicacy. The use of soft wool for the field and a cotton warp grants the rug a pleasing suppleness with enduring strength—an authentic union of durability and beauty. The medallion design presents a symmetrical medallion at the heart of a copper-toned field, projecting a classical, regal structure. That copper ground, strewn with small, orderly blossoms, brings a particular warmth to the setting, while a softly pink border lends a fresh, gentle accent, like a delicate ribbon around an Eastern garden. Its floral motifs draw upon the enduring tradition of Iranian miniature, serving not merely as ornament but as quiet narrators of tenderness, life, and the ordered rhythms of nature.
