Vintage Persian Tabriz "Willow & Slate" Grand Estate Carpet (Circa 1950s)
Elevate your living space with the sophisticated artistry of this 1950s Tabriz carpet. Originating from one of Persia’s most famous weaving centers, Tabriz rugs are globally renowned for their precise craftsmanship and high-design appeal. At 9'2" x 12'3", this "Grand Estate" rug offers a cool, architectural presence that seamlessly blends mid-century history with a modern, monochromatic sensibility.
Why It’s Unique
This Tabriz is distinguished by its rare botanical landscape and its sought-after "denim and charcoal" palette.
"Thousand Flower" & Willow Design: Unlike standard geometric rugs, this field features a "thousand flower" inspired motif, uniquely overlaid with geometric willow trees, blossoms, and serrated leaves. The willow tree is a classic Persian symbol of grace and life, rendered here with the crisp, clean lines characteristic of the Tabriz masters.
The "Denim & Slate" Color Story: This rug departs from traditional reds and golds, offering a stunningly modern palette of dusty denim blue, slate blue, and charcoal. These cool tones are illuminated by oxidized silver and antique ivory, making it an ideal choice for rooms with gray, white, or navy décor.
Bouquet Border Artistry: The frame of the rug is just as detailed as the center, featuring a wide main border of sprawling palmettes and delicate floral bouquets. This "garden-framed" aesthetic adds a soft, romantic touch to the rug’s structured geometry.
Architectural Precision: Tabriz weavers are known for their exceptional consistency. This carpet provides a symmetrical, balanced layout that anchors a room with a sense of calm and professional curation.
Condition & Artisan Quality
Hand-knotted in the 1950s, this rug has aged into a beautiful, low-profile textile that is as practical as it is beautiful.
Sleek Vintage Patina: The rug exhibits mostly even wear down to the knot heads, with small, isolated areas where the foundation peeks through. This creates a highly desirable "distressed" look that adds authentic vintage character while remaining smooth and easy to maintain.
Pristine Presentation: Recently professionally cleaned and showroom-ready. While there are one or two minor age-related marks on the reverse side, they do not show through to the front, ensuring the top surface remains visually clean and vibrant.
Structurally Sound: The side cord selvages are intact or restored, and the sides and ends are fully secured. Its robust Tabriz construction ensures it will remain a durable centerpiece of your home for many years to come.
