Antique Persian Tabriz Carpet

An antique Persian Tabriz carpet. In the Saraband manner with literally hundreds of tiny floriated botehs crowding the beige field with a noticeable, but not undesirable, tonal shift, and an ivory border with pendant long botehs and a angularly meandering vine. In Tabriz, in NW Persia, workshop room size carpets such as this draw inspiration from everywhere: classical carpets, rugs from other towns, as here; the Caucasus; and anywhere else that swims into their ken.
