Its charming garden-inspired composition makes it particularly attractive to collectors and customers who appreciate decorative Persian rugs with individual artistic character.

Measuring 170 × 135 cm (approximately 5'7" × 4'5"), it is an ideal size for living rooms, bedrooms, studies, reading corners and elegant interiors.

Approximately 60–70 years old, the rug is in good vintage condition with slight uneven wear and a good wool pile.

Exceptional Persian Tabriz Weaving Heritage

Tabriz is one of the most celebrated centres of traditional Persian carpet weaving, internationally recognised for its artistic designs, skilled craftsmanship and rich decorative heritage.

Persian Tabriz rugs are admired for their sophisticated compositions, detailed drawing and remarkable variety of traditional patterns.

The city's weaving traditions include elaborate floral medallions, intricate all-over designs, pictorial compositions and decorative garden scenes.

This beautiful vintage example is particularly appealing because of its Persian Garden design, incorporating birds, animals and floral motifs into a richly detailed composition.

Unlike ordinary geometric or floral rugs, pictorial and garden-inspired designs introduce an additional artistic dimension, making the rug a decorative feature as well as a practical floor covering.

Magnificent Persian Garden Design with Birds and Animals

The outstanding feature of this Persian Tabriz rug is its intricate garden-inspired composition featuring birds, animals and flowers.

Traditional Persian garden designs are celebrated for their decorative richness and their representations of nature.

Birds, animals and flowering plants have appeared in Persian textile and carpet designs for generations, creating beautiful compositions that combine craftsmanship with artistic expression.

The carefully arranged motifs give this rug a particularly distinctive appearance.

The original description highlights its excellent drawing, an important quality for a design containing small figurative and floral details.

Its decorative character makes it especially appealing to customers who appreciate unusual Persian rugs rather than conventional medallion patterns.

This charming composition is equally suited to a traditional home, an elegant study or a contemporary interior where the rug can be appreciated as an individual work of textile art.

Very Fine Lamb's Wool on Cotton Foundation

This beautiful Persian Tabriz rug has been traditionally hand-knotted using very fine lamb's wool on a cotton foundation.

Fine lamb's wool is appreciated for its softness, attractive texture and natural warmth.

The cotton foundation provides structural support, while the wool pile allows the intricate design to be expressed through traditional hand-knotting.

The rug's detailed birds, animals and floral motifs demonstrate the decorative possibilities of skilled Persian weaving.

Its combination of fine wool, traditional construction and detailed artistic design makes it a particularly attractive example of vintage Persian craftsmanship.

Beautiful Soft Colours and Elegant Decorative Character

The original product description highlights the rug's beautiful soft colours, which complement its intricate Persian Garden design.

A softer colour palette can make a highly detailed traditional rug especially versatile, allowing its decorative motifs to be appreciated without overwhelming the surrounding furnishings.

This makes the rug suitable for elegant interiors featuring natural wooden flooring, neutral upholstery, antique furniture and carefully selected decorative accessories.

Its artistic composition can provide an attractive focal point in both traditional and contemporary settings.

Authentic Vintage Character – Approximately 60–70 Years Old

Approximately 60–70 years old, this Persian Tabriz rug has the established character associated with vintage handmade weaving.

It is in good condition with slight uneven wear and a good wool pile.

The slight variations in wear are consistent with its age and form part of its authentic vintage appearance.

Importantly, the rug retains a good pile and has been professionally hand-washed, making it ready for immediate use.

The original listing describes it as suitable for heavy domestic use.

With appropriate care, it can continue to be enjoyed as both a practical handmade rug and a beautiful decorative furnishing.
