Persian Medallion Area Rug

This is a high-density, fine-pile area rug featuring a traditional Persian Tabriz style design. The central focus is a large, multi-layered circular medallion executed in shades of chocolate brown, mocha, and cream, surrounded by an intricate floral field on a light ivory or off-white background. The composition includes symmetrically arranged 'Shah Abbasi' floral motifs, delicate palmettes, and scrolling vine work that extends to the scalloped spandrels in the corners. The color palette is sophisticated and neutral, primarily utilizing earth tones such as taupe, tan, and various shades of brown against a high-contrast cream ground. Based on the visual texture and the sharpness of the pattern, it appears to be a high-quality machine-woven rug or a very fine hand-knotted silk-and-wool blend. The pile looks short and dense, suggesting a high knots-per-square-inch (KPSI) count or high reed/pick density if machine-made. No significant stains, fraying, or structural damage are visible in the image, although there is a slight ripple or fold indicating it may have been recently unrolled. The craftsmanship exhibits great attention to detail in the curvilinear patterns, typical of late 20th to early 21st-century production aiming for a classical aesthetic suitable for formal interior design.
