Step into a realm where artistry meets devotion with this truly exceptional hand-knotted Persian Tabriz carpet. Measuring a modest yet impactful 2 feet 4 inches by 1 foot 11 inches, this is more than just a rug; it's a signed work of art, a testament to the skill of master weaver Barhaqi, crafted with very fine quality worsted wool on a robust cotton foundation.
A Scene Woven in Time: Unlike traditional Persian designs, this Tabriz masterpiece captivates with its central pictorial depiction of Madonna and Child. The tender expressions, the delicate draping of their garments, and the serene backdrop are all brought to life through countless meticulously tied knots. This universal motif of maternal love and spiritual grace transforms the rug into a profound piece of narrative art, inviting contemplation and adding a unique layer of meaning to any space.
The Signature of Excellence: What truly sets this carpet apart is the signature of the artisan, "Barhaqi," subtly woven into its composition. In the world of Persian rugs, a signed piece signifies the pride and mastery of its creator, elevating it from a craft item to a collectible work of art. This provenance ensures its authenticity and adds to its investment value for discerning collectors.
Tabriz Quality, Unrivaled Fineness: Hailing from the legendary weaving city of Tabriz, this carpet embodies the region's reputation for superior quality. The "very fine quality" classification speaks volumes: an incredibly high knot count allows for astonishing precision in every line and curve of the figures, making the worsted wool pile feel dense, velvety, and luxurious to the touch. This dedication to detail is the hallmark of Tabriz's finest workshops.
A Palette of Serenity: The colors chosen for this pictorial rug are intentionally nuanced to evoke a sense of calm and reverence. Soft creams and warm beiges create a luminous base, allowing the gentle blues, muted greens, and delicate pinks to emerge with subtle grace. These hues are expertly blended, creating natural shading and depth that give life to the figures, framed by an intricate border that echoes the carpet's overall elegance.
Beyond a Rug – A Cherished Heirloom: This Barhaqi-signed Tabriz pictorial carpet is destined to be more than just a floor covering. Its unique subject matter, the unparalleled quality of its worsted wool and cotton foundation, and the prestige of its signature make it an ideal candidate for a captivating wall hanging, a centerpiece in a cherished collection, or a profound accent in a sacred space. It is an heirloom that will enrich your home's story and spirit for generations.
