Antique Herati Fish Design Tabriz Persian Rug 43252

Antique Herati Fish Design Tabriz Rug, Country Of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Early 20th Century – This beautifully intricate antique rug — a Tabriz from Persia made sometime during the early twentieth century — is a masterful work featuring a stunningly detailed field done in a soothing palette of browns. A classic Persian ‘Herati’ pattern repeats with consummate precision and delicacy across the entire field of this fine antique Tabriz, giving it a quality of depth and complexity. The design is very closely worked throughout the piece, so much so that the chocolate brown ground is little more than an outline underscoring the pattern in varying shades of tan. The main and minor vine scroll borders — also brilliantly worked — maintain the same fine drawing, scale, and coloration as the complex field, giving the overall composition the requisite unity for a first-rate decorative carpet. This is truly a beautiful carpet to behold.
