79137 Vintage Persian Tabriz Wool & Silk Rug Runner, 02'08 x 12'11.

This exquisite hand-knotted wool and silk vintage Persian Tabriz runner is a stunning representation of classic Persian artistry and intricate craftsmanship. The Persian runner features a neutral, beige field that serves as a canvas for the sumptuous display of symmetrical floral medallions. These medallions, rich in earth-tones and pastel hues, are intricately outlined with finely detailed motifs, demonstrating the weaver's meticulous attention to detail and mastery of design. Anchoring the central composition are elegant floral motifs and ornamental accents that radiate a sense of luxury and opulence.

Surrounding the central field, the Tabriz carpet runner boasts delicate corner spandrels that mirror the complexity and beauty of the central medallions. These spandrels extend along the sides of the runner, embellished with acanthus vinery and an assortment of botanical elements, each rendered with precision and depth. The intricate interplay of colors and patterns within these spandrels adds a dynamic visual interest and highlights the skillful color blending that is characteristic of Persian Tabriz weavings.

The borders of the runner are a masterpiece in their own right, featuring a botanical design on a contrasting rust colored background. This border is meticulously crafted, showcasing an array of palmettes, lotus blossoms, and foliate designs that encapsulate the essence of Persian floral art. Flanked by a modest inner and outer guard band in lighter hues, the border frames the central field beautifully, enhancing the visual impact of the runner and emphasizing its elongated elegance.

This vintage Persian Tabriz runner, with its blend of wool and silk fibers, not only exemplifies the height of weaving artistry but also encapsulates a rich historical heritage. The use of silk highlights specific elements of the design, adding a subtle sheen that contrasts with the matte finish of the wool, creating a piece that is as luxurious to the touch as it is pleasing to the eye. Perfect for adorning a grand foyer or a refined living space, this runner is a testament to the timeless beauty and sophisticated charm of Persian rugs.
