Hunting Tabriz Handknotted Wool Rug

This rug is an exceptionally fine Persian Tabriz pictorial rug which highlights the charcoal field with horsemen in pursuit of prey amongst scattered flowering plants within an ivory border enclosing pictorial cartouches supported by bell shaped pendants in filled with flowering vines. Its motifs are a magnificent example of Persian ‘revivalist’ weaving, presenting a hunting scene from the verses of the Persian poet Ferdowsi. A superb example of the pictorial genre, made by highly talented, experienced weavers, this rug not only makes a space look and feel warmer, but also lasts in a home a long time- thanks to the premium quality materials that are used for its craftsmanship.
