Hand-Knotted 1950s Persian Tabriz Carpet in Ivory and Copper Tones

Vintage Persian Rug with Floral Medallion Design and Mid-Century Charm

The Hand-Knotted 1950s Persian Tabriz Carpet in Ivory and Copper Tones is a symphony of age-softened beauty and architectural precision—a work of woven art that carries the spirit of mid-century Persia with timeless grace. Crafted in Tabriz, one of the most revered weaving centers in the world, this rug embodies the region’s celebrated finesse: refined detailing, expert symmetry, and a palette that glows with quiet warmth.

At its heart lies a shield-like quatrefoil medallion, its coppery hue radiating across an ivory field alive with sprawling vines, palmettes, and cloudband motifs. Delicate blossoms, buds, and arabesques interlace in rhythmic harmony, each line reflecting the hand and eye of a master weaver. The medallion and corner motifs create a balanced geometry, while the softly worn pile and faint abrash (color variation) tell the story of decades of sunlight, footsteps, and care.

The colors are nothing short of poetic. Ivory and cream form the tranquil ground, while deep terracotta and copper provide structure and depth. Seafoam green-blue adds a cooling balance, and gentle touches of pale magenta offer hints of romance. The rug’s naturally distressed surface reveals glimpses of its cotton foundation beneath the wool pile—a desirable characteristic among collectors seeking authenticity and the tactile charm of a life well-lived.

This Hand-Knotted 1950s Persian Tabriz Carpet in Ivory and Copper Tones has been professionally cleaned and stabilized, ready for continued enjoyment. Most original selvages have been carefully maintained or restored, ensuring both visual harmony and longevity. Its low, even pile lends it versatility—equally suited for elegant living spaces, serene bedrooms, or sophisticated dining rooms.

Perfect for Vintage Boho interiors, this vintage rug brings warmth and authenticity to any environment. In a light-filled parlor, its copper tones glow like the late afternoon sun. Paired with antique wood furniture, linen upholstery, or brass fixtures, it transforms the room into a sanctuary of texture and history.

More than a decorative statement, this carpet is a living artifact of Persian artistry—a tactile record of craftsmanship, patience, and enduring beauty. The sound of its fibers brushing softly beneath your feet, the gentle sheen that changes with the light, the intricate motifs that invite endless discovery—every detail reminds you that this rug was made not just to be seen, but to be lived with.

To own the Hand-Knotted 1950s Persian Tabriz Carpet in Ivory and Copper Tones is to hold a piece of history—woven by hand, aged with grace, and ready to continue its story in your home.
