Measuring approximately 8' x 9'7", 8x10 hand knotted Indo Tabriz rug is defined by a calm mint green central field that immediately sets a serene, open tone which is an intentional design choice often seen in Tabriz carpets meant to emphasize spaciousness and refinement rather than dense ornamentation. With 0.75” high plush pile, this piece relies on negative space as a design element, allowing the large mint green field to function as a visual pause.
Encircling this tranquil center is a structured, multi layered border system that brings rhythm and ornamentation. The main border features repeating rosette and palmette motifs linked by flowing vine scrolls, symbols traditionally associated with continuity, harmony, and renewal. These floral forms are carefully articulated in ivory and beige, accented with blush, soft red, muted blue, and navy, creating a gentle contrast against the cool green field. Slim inner and outer guard borders, enriched with geometric and floral detailing in red, navy, and green, act as visual punctuation, tightening the composition and lending it architectural precision. The over all design achieves a refined balance between openness and detail, soft color and structure, making it a one of a kind piece.

Story Behind the Art: Indo-Tabriz rugs represent a masterful fusion of Persian design and Indian craftsmanship. These rugs are produced in India but take their artistic DNA from the city of Tabriz in northwestern Iran. While a genuine Persian Tabriz is prized for its extreme technical precision and history, the "Indo" version offers a bridge between high-end antique aesthetics and modern affordability. They faithfully replicate the classic Tabriz themes, most notably the Mahi (Herati) pattern, a repeating diamond lattice with stylized fish or leaves. Indo-Tabriz rugs are typically woven with the Persian (asymmetrical) knot and are usually made with a wool pile on a cotton foundation. To tell a Tabriz from an Indo-Tabriz, look at the back. A Persian Tabriz usually has a very stiff, flat back due to the way the knots are packed, whereas an Indo-Tabriz feels slightly more supple and flexible.
