Tabriz in northwestern Iran is one of the oldest carpet weaving cities in the world. This genuine Iranian Tabriz is woven in wool on a silk base at 342 knots per square inch. The classical floral medallion composition sits in the formal Tabriz tradition. A silk base gives the carpet a different firmness and flatness from cotton constructions.
The black and blue ground at 4 ft 9 in x 6 ft 6 in is dramatic and unusual. The dark all-over palette gives the floral design a depth and intensity that lighter grounds cannot produce. The silk base contributes a subtle sheen to the ground colour that shifts with the light.
In your home: Works in studies, formal bedrooms and as an accent piece in a larger sitting room. The dark ground pairs with gold, cream and ivory tones. A confident piece for a room that can carry it.
