Type & Origin:
This rug is very likely a Persian Tabriz or Kerman style rug, based on the intricate floral and vine-scroll pattern, medallion-less field, and the refined border design. These regions are known for creating elegant carpets with soft palettes and high knot density. The use of ivory, beige, olive, and subtle blush tones suggests it may have been intentionally sun-faded or tea-washed, a common practice in the late 20th century to soften colors for Western tastes. -
Era:
Based on the overall wear, soft abrash (natural dye variation), and muted palette, this rug was likely woven between the 1950s and 1980s. The fine detailing and sophisticated composition suggest it was not a utilitarian rug but a decorative one, perhaps made for export or for a formal home. -
Construction:
It appears to be hand-knotted wool on a cotton foundation, a hallmark of mid-century Persian production. The precision of the motifs and clarity of the floral elements point to a relatively high knot count—often 200–400 KPSI in rugs from regions like Tabriz or Kerman. -
Design:
The rug features an allover floral field with no central medallion, surrounded by a classic palmette-and-vine border. This is characteristic of Persian garden or orchard-themed rugs, often symbolic of paradise and tranquility. The soft wear patterns and subtle fading suggest age and authenticity, not mass production.
