(High-Decorative)
A seldom-found array of colors combined with very unusual square dimensions makes this finely crafted antique Tabriz a welcome treat. The pattern of floral sprays and lyrical bouquets is magical in its simplicity. A centerpiece is suggested by elegant horizontal lyre-shaped botanical forms intersecting with tiny blooming bushes. Its palette of refreshingly exotic hues was orchestrated by a group of intrepid weavers who were not afraid to innovate beyond the box to achieve successful results. Bold bands of abrash are simultaneously harmonizing, providing visual texture and reminding the viewer that this is a work of art crafted by human hands. This unique carpet would no doubt marry exceptionally well with a wide variety of interior elements, from furniture and fabrics to fashionable paint schemes. Deluxe quality wool pile and consummate construction ensure this delightful weaving will endure far into the future.
