{"product_id":"persian-tabriz-rug-9-5-x-13-4","title":"Persian Tabriz Rug | 9' 5\" x 13' 3\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eTabriz is one of the most vital hubs for hand-knotted Persian rugs. When it comes to design and color, it arguably holds the premier position in the global rug world. Since the first and second schools of Iranian miniature painting were formed in Tabriz, this strong artistic heritage has made the masterful skill of Tabriz rug designers world-renowned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular Tabriz carpet features one of the most stunning \"Medallion and Corner\" designs. Thanks to its striking color contrast and innovative spatial arrangement, every glance reveals a new facet of its beauty. Upon closer inspection, we see how the designer has masterfully connected the elements and motifs through the graceful sweep of arabesques (Eslimi) and the winding curves of botanical patterns (Khatai), delivering a cohesive and perfectly unified design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother fascinating aspect of this rug is the visual dominance of the border motifs over the main field's pattern, intentionally making the border appear more prominent. This choice once again showcases the designer's virtuosity: the border design, featuring a cream background and large Shah Abbasi palmettes, not only intensifies the three-dimensional feel of the rug but also acts as a visual counterpart to the arabesque frames within the field, elevating the overall harmony to the absolute highest level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this piece, the designer faced a creative challenge: to ensure the corners (Lachak) do not interfere with the main spatial arrangement or distract the viewer from the core concept, while still adhering to the traditional principles of Persian rug weaving. The solution was to incorporate minimal spandrels at the absolute extremities of the field. Because these corners are detached from the main border, this specific style is technically referred to in the trade as a \"Floating Spandrel\" (Lachak-e Mo'allaq).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: Mid-20th century \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Tabriz, Persia \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 9' 5\" x 13' 3\" (288 x 404 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Not perfectly rectangular, reflecting its authentic handmade nature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rug the Rock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49126253330649,"sku":"126060017","price":4100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/1460\/8857\/files\/225736793_1.jpg?v=1787342410","url":"https:\/\/rugtherock.com\/products\/persian-tabriz-rug-9-5-x-13-4","provider":"Rug the Rock ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
