Vintage Persian Tabriz Rug 9'8"x12'2'' Bold Botanical Art on Cerulean Blue
Rug No. 127319
Vintage Persian Tabriz rug with a magnificent display of larger than life botanicals on a euphoric cerulean blue ground. Carpets with similar designs originated in 16th and 17th Safavid Dynasty Persian workshops and became highly sought after for their bold elegance and vivid colors. In fact, an original "Sickle Leaf Vase Technique" design carpet sold at Sotheby's Auction in 2013 for just under $34 million as shown in our photo #11. Our mid twentieth century rendition embodies the spirit and flair of those original masterpieces. The colors of our wonderful Tabriz include the cerulean blue ground, a rust red border, and motif details in navy blue, olive green, buff, baby blue, chartreuse, bone, coffee bean, lemon yellow, gold, cream, and many more.
