Persian Tabriz 

Stock No: PE-142-001443

Size(m): 0.83×0.60

This a Persian handmade rug, made from wool and it comes from Tabriz. 

The rug itself is not a very large rug. It's 83 centimeters by 60 centimeters. 

The colors of the rug are a beautiful combination of blues and yellows and gold. The central features of the rug are quite clearly a horse and a young very attractive woman who is with her right hand holding the horse and they're both facing us. The other aspect of the rug that's interesting is that there is a depiction of what appears to be a flower in that there is a center and petals radiating from it. Size-wise it's actually equal to the face of the horse or the woman so that also features as a focal point. 

The colors in the foreground are crimson's reds and they then become gold being the color of her garments with the skirt. Her waist is held in by almost a cloth band which is crimson and knotted in the center. She has also it seems a sword that is held to her body by this drapery that is crimson in color. The front left hoof of the horse is lifted and there is a sense of expectation. She's looking longingly not at us but out towards right field if you like. There is no clarity with regard to the background. It is a combination of various shades of blue and ivories and white. 

The impact of the carpet is enormous because of the beauty of the woman who has a upper shawl which is draped on her hair and also it would seem the cape that's blue in color a dark blue and then the blouse that she's wearing is a very much lighter blue. There is no indication why she has this sword. It's not drawn. It almost looks a little bit too small for a sword. It may be some sort of dagger that she's got in her clothing. We see the handle of the sword. With her left hand she's holding up the skirt that as I mentioned is yellow or golden color and we can see her feet that are not it seems she's not wearing shoes and so we can see her toes as well which is very interesting. There is a interesting feature of this rug and that is that it looks as if it is a painting and that some of the painting is aged and this is something that's been created by the weaver. It's spectacularly beautiful.

The vibrant combination of blues, yellows, and gold creates a visually stunning masterpiece. The central focus on the horse and the woman, with intricate details like the crimson garments and the enigmatic sword or dagger, adds a touch of mystery. The size, 83x60 cm, makes it a versatile and impactful decor piece, while the aged-painting effect skillfully woven into the design adds a unique charm, making it a truly spectacular addition to any setting.
