Hand-Knotted Antique Tabriz Style Rug, Red, Beige-Brown Pictorial Hunting Rug

Hand knotted in fine quality wool, an antique 8×13 ode to the Tabriz Persian rug style originating circa 1920-1930. Presenting itself as a magnificent example of European weaving, the piece seems to be an English or Irish take of a rare 17th century Persian Tabriz hunting pictorial.

This thought provoking, gracious scale spins a tale of grandeur both in imagination and make with a union of different designs. Supported by a subtle beige backdrop, the piece attracts attention with an orange-grey hued medallion that perhaps forms a ground for birds to hover (signifying harmony and freedom). The field brims with action and movement with floral elements and pictorial representation of animals like bull, horses, wolves and dragons signifying power and strength—all within sharply defined cartouches with complementary floral patterns of graceful curvature. This impactful imagery is enveloped in thick rust toned red floral border with light blue, peach and black punctuations for a visually arresting appeal. An exemplary collectible in pictorial theme, thriving in excellent condition for its age, well suited for drawing rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, ornate entertaining areas, classic Victorian offices and libraries, museum, hotel lobbies to name a few.

Connoisseurs may further note the sheer variety of birds within the medallion pattern further exemplifies the collectible, rare lineage of this European style as well as the finesse of this workshop in kind. The precise symmetry of these motifs reflected with the medallion and border promotes an ideal gravity for centerpiece and statement projects.
