Tabriz has for many centuries been the leading carpet
trading center of Persia, lying as it does on the great Silk Route and close to
the border with Turkey; the rugs knotted there have in consequence shown a
style rich in innovation and international art influences which have made them
among the most famous and highly regarded of all urban Persian carpets.
Moreover, as is so admirably demonstrated in this outstanding specimen, the
weavers of Tabriz are generally considered the most skillful in Persia, able to
knot virtually any design with incomparable flair and unrivaled excellence. The
superbly rendered mahi, or 'fish', herati patterning and medallion composition
of this item possesses all the clarity of expression, perfect sense of
proportion and wonderful handling of colour which have become synonymous with
the finest Tabriz work. An indication of the item's superlative quality is
revealed in the substantial use of silk in the carpet's pile. 50 raj, hand
knotted, perfect condition.
