Elvire - 8' 1'' x 11' 1''
Vintage Persian Tabriz Rug
8' 1'' x 11' 1'' | 247 cm x 338 cm
OVERVIEW
This 1950s Persian Tabriz rug presents a striking interplay between slate gray fields and ivory medallion work. The hand-knotted wool displays the region's renowned precision through meticulously rendered floral motifs and arabesques. Time has gently softened the original contrasts, creating a composition where classical Persian formality meets contemporary color sensibility.
COLORS & DETAILS
Moody slate gray anchors the field, creating a dramatic backdrop for the large, finely drawn central medallion in antique ivory. Corner spandrels echo the medallion's elegant patterning, while a consistent taupe-ivory border frames the composition with quiet sophistication. This restrained palette enhances the architectural quality of the design, allowing intricate details to emerge with subtle clarity.
PHOTOGRAPHY NOTE
Our commitment to authentic representation guides every image. Studio lighting captures the rug's true essence, while showroom photographs in natural sunlight may display warmer undertones. Each piece appears exactly as it exists, without digital manipulation or enhancement.
CONDITION
This vintage piece has been professionally cleaned to preserve its distinctive character while ensuring its beauty for years to come. Upon arrival, simply unroll your rug in any dry area—indoors or outdoors—and allow the natural wool fibers to acclimate after transit. This brief resting period helps the rug adapt to its new environment before taking its place in your home.
