Tabriz medallion carpet
Price on request
340 × 248 cm · 11′2″ × 8′2″
A disciplined mid-century Tabriz built around a sixteen-point medallion on a softened madder field. The drawing is workshop-exact — scrolling split-leaf arabesques, a properly resolved corner solution — yet fifty years of light have relaxed the palette into something considerably warmer than the city's formal reputation.
The wool is firm and dry in the characteristic Tabriz manner, taking sharp detail and holding it. A carpet for a room that is actually lived in: it will take furniture, traffic and sun without complaint.
Each piece is one of one, acquired personally on your behalf. Online acquisitions open with the release of our inaugural collection; enquiries are welcomed now. Fully insured delivery within the United Kingdom and Europe.
