Antique Tabriz, Persia, early twentieth century A graceful allover design of palmettes and flowering vines spreads across the soft gold field of this charming antique Tabriz. Much of the pattern is rendered in shades of creamy ivory that contrast subtly with the ground color, with sparing accents in light and darker blue. As a result, its complexity does not overwhelm the viewer, but recedes instead into the background, thereby enhancing the decorative potential of the carpet. A lush palmette vinescroll border is set against a blue ground, providing an effective frame for the entire composition.
