Part of $2.8 Million McLean Mansion Luxury Downsizing Auction (timed auction by Prime Auction Solutions)

Status: Sold

A magnificent new, room-commanding hand knotted wool and silk area rug in the celebrated Tabriz design tradition, offered from a gallery closure collection at a fraction of gallery retail pricing. At twelve by fifteen feet, this is a genuinely palatial carpet that anchors even the largest formal interior with authority and elegance. The most iconic motif found in Tabriz rugs is a central medallion that radiates outward into other star-shaped pendants and cartouches, with quarter medallions positioned on the corners, while the design features rich hues of ivory, copper, terracotta and burgundy with complementing highlights of navy blue and deep green. This example delivers that vocabulary at its most accomplished: a deep burgundy field carries an allover program of tightly drawn floral vines, palmettes, and arabesque scrollwork, with a central medallion of striking complexity rendered in deep navy blue against the warm red ground. The medallion radiates outward in layered tiers of floral and geometric detail, framed by a full complement of matching quarter medallions at the four corners. The ivory border provides the clean architectural containment that draws the eye inward and completes the composition with classical balance. The inclusion of silk in the pile construction is a meaningful distinction from purely wool examples. Silk Tabriz rugs are renowned for their luxurious feel and intricate designs, with high knot densities achieving unparalleled detail and precision, making them prized centerpieces for sophisticated interiors. The silk content on this example imparts a characteristic sheen and luminosity to the pile, the surface shifting in quality as the light changes and animating the deep tones of the burgundy field and navy medallion in ways that wool alone cannot achieve. Value in Tabriz design rugs follows clarity and condition: the real drivers are precision of drawing, quality of materials, color behavior, and structural integrity. All four are present here. The drawing is crisp and confident throughout, the color palette rich and well-saturated, and the overall construction consistent with quality workshop production. Genuine hand knotted wool and silk construction. Tabriz design allover floral medallion. Deep burgundy field, navy medallion, ivory border. Part of a gallery closure collection. Size: 12'0" x 15'0."
