tabriz carpet. This exceptional carpet is about 50 years old and is a very early example of the work of the Master Weaver Taba Tabai in the city of Tabriz in north west Persia. The deep indigo field is a perfect background foil for the magnificent and realistic portrayals of roses and other flowers, most of which are surmounted by small birds. In the top border there is a cartouche in Farsi which reads "Taba Tabai - Iran". Reference 2505. Size 263 x 188cms. 8ft.5in. x 6ft.2in. weight 17 kilos. 38 lbs. Euros 1,550.
