Measuring approximately 8' × 9'7", this hand-knotted Indo Tabriz wool rug features a plush 0.75-inch pile that delivers both visual depth and a soft, luxurious feel underfoot. The calm mint green field is intentionally open, a design hallmark of Tabriz rugs that emphasizes spaciousness, elegance, and refined restraint rather than dense ornamentation, making it ideal for modern and transitional homes.
Encasing the field is a sophisticated multi-layered border system that introduces structure and decorative rhythm. The primary border displays repeating rosettes and palmettes linked by flowing vine scrolls, symbolizing continuity and renewal. Ivory and beige florals are accented with blush, muted red, navy, and soft blue tones, creating gentle contrast against the cool green background. Slim guard borders with geometric and floral detailing add architectural precision, resulting in a balanced composition that blends openness with intricate craftsmanship—perfect for upscale living rooms, dining areas, or formal sitting spaces.

Story Behind the Art : Indo-Tabriz rugs represent a refined synthesis of classical Persian artistry and skilled Indian craftsmanship. Although woven in India, their design lineage traces directly to the historic city of Tabriz in northwestern Iran, one of the most respected weaving centers in Persian rug history. Authentic Persian Tabriz rugs are celebrated for their extreme precision and historical importance, while Indo-Tabriz rugs provide a more accessible alternative that preserves antique aesthetics at a modern price point. These rugs often replicate iconic Tabriz patterns, most notably the Mahi (Herati) design—an elegant repeating lattice of diamonds adorned with stylized fish or leaf motifs. Indo-Tabriz rugs are hand-knotted using the Persian asymmetrical knot, typically with a wool pile over a cotton foundation. A key distinction lies in construction: Persian Tabriz rugs tend to have a rigid, tightly packed back, while Indo-Tabriz rugs are slightly more flexible, offering comfort without sacrificing visual authenticity.
