Finely Hand knotted Persian 50 Raj Tabriz Medallion center Wool pile Rug 395x300 cm (approx. 9x12 ft)
Type: Classic Persian Tabriz rug
Construction:Hand-knotted
Format: Large room-size carpet (approx. 9×12 ft or similar, based on proportions)
Design & pattern
The rug features a central medallion composition, one of the hallmarks of high-quality Persian Tabriz rugs.
The medallion is:
Circular and highly intricate
Surrounded by a radiating “sunburst” of floral motifs
The field is filled with:
Dense arabesques, scrolling vines, and palmettes
A very balanced, symmetrical layout
This type of design is strongly associated with Tabriz carpets, which are known for elegance and precision.
Colors
Dominant field: deep navy blue
Secondary colors:
rich reds
ivory/cream
light blue
gold and muted earth tones
The palette is classic and suggests traditional dyeing, likely wool with possibly some silk highlights (hard to confirm without touch, but the sheen hints at it).
Borders
The rug has a wide main border with repeating floral medallions
Guard borders feature fine vine and rosette patterns
The borders are well-proportioned, which is typical of higher-end Persian weaving
Construction details (important)
From the close-ups:
The back shows clear individual knots confirms hand-knotted
The weave is tight and fine, suggesting:
Higher knot density
Likely a workshop piece rather than tribal
The fringe appears to be a continuation of the foundation (not sewn on) → another sign of authenticity
