Antique Tabriz, Persia, Early 20th Century - Tabriz carpets like this are famed for their fidelity to classical Persian forerunners. In the case of this extraordinary example the model was undoubtedly a classical Caucasian carpet, one of the so-called ‘dragon rugs’ of the seventeenth century. Here the design consists of a bold floral lattice in drop=repeat symmetry with palmettes and ‘dragons’ filling the intervening spaces. The vinescroll border is classical Persian, however, although it harmonizes beautifully with the field. The soft palette of golden and cinnamon tones makes this a first-rate decorative carpet in a contemporary setting.
