Bay colony Antiques is proud to offer for sale this fantastic semi-antique Tabriz oriental carpet / runner. We used to purchase a lot of estate rugs but haven’t been very enthralled by the rugs we’ve been encountering as of late. That’s certainly not the case here and we’re excited to offer this rug to our collectors across the country.
This exquisite rug features a predominantly cream-colored field, adorned with five striking red medallions. The intricate floral and vine pattern is framed by a series of four concentric borders, adding depth and elegance to the design. A highlight of this rug is the beautiful pictorial elements, with birds woven into the cream and red sections, and deer situated within a mihrab motif at each corner of the rich indigo section. These motifs carry deep symbolism: the birds represent joy and good news, while the deer signify well-being, with their placement inside the mihrab further enhancing the sense of blessing and protection. The rug is signed in Farsi at the bottom and is in fantastic condition. There is also an old dealer tag on the rear from a rug gallery in Salt Lake City Utah. The rug measures 161" (13+ feet) long x 30 1/2" wide.
