1910s Antique Persian Tabriz Area Rug

An Heirloom of Persian Elegance and Handwoven Artistry

The 1910s Antique Persian Tabriz Area Rug captures the timeless beauty and craftsmanship of one of Persia’s most distinguished weaving centers. Created during the early 20th century — a golden era for Tabriz rug production — this handwoven treasure is a testament to artistry, tradition, and the enduring poetry of design passed through generations of master weavers.

Measuring approximately 4'4" x 5'10", this rug features a finely detailed medallion design set within a harmonious field of interlocking florals and geometric motifs. Each knot, placed by hand, reveals the precision and patience of its maker. The overall composition radiates symmetry and grace, framed by an exquisite cypress tree border — a traditional Persian motif symbolizing life and immortality.

The color palette whispers of time and heritage. Softly faded ivory, burnt sienna, and terracotta mingle with gentle strata of blue and indigo, their tones softened over more than a century of gentle wear. The delicate striations of sky blue add a sense of movement, as if light itself is woven into the fibers. This natural patina creates an atmosphere of warmth and serenity that complements both antique and contemporary interiors alike.

Crafted from fine wool on a cotton foundation, the rug’s surface retains its supple yet resilient texture, offering both tactile luxury and lasting durability. Despite its age, it remains remarkably well-preserved, showing only minor end loss consistent with its vintage nature — a reminder of the generations it has graced. Recently cleaned and stabilized, this piece is suitable for decorative use or low-traffic settings, where it can be admired and preserved for decades to come.

The 1910s Antique Persian Tabriz Area Rug finds its most natural home vintage-inspired  interiors. Picture it anchoring a parlor with timeworn oak floors, beneath the soft glow of candlelight, or placed delicately beneath a vintage writing desk where it lends texture and soul. The faint scent of aged wool, the softened hues of its medallion, and the intricate vines unfurling through its design conjure a sense of nostalgia — a quiet echo of history beneath your feet.

More than a floor covering, this antique rug is a piece of living art, a woven reflection of cultural refinement and poetic beauty that continues to inspire over a century later.
