This stunning antique Tabriz carpet, woven in the prestigious Benlian workshop, is distinguished by an ivory background layered with a large-scale all-over pattern of multicoloured scrolling palmettes. This design derives from 17th-century Safavid Vase carpets and is one of the most coveted designs for antique Tabrizes. The fine weaving quality and exceptionally good condition elect this example to the rank of best-of-type.
