This extraordinary Tabriz rug from the mid-20th century captures the full splendor of Persian narrative weaving. Its ivory field is alive with movement, depicting a traditional “hunting scene” where horsemen, deer, lions, and birds animate a lush landscape filled with trees, vines, and blossoms.

But what truly sets this piece apart is its highly unusual border: instead of a conventional floral or vine-scroll motif, the frame is adorned with angelic figures—a rarely seen artistic addition that brings a celestial dimension to the earthly chase within. These angel forms, depicted with winged grace, add mystery and serenity to an otherwise dynamic and storied composition.

Woven in Tabriz—a city long celebrated for its precision and elegance—this rug is a technical triumph as much as a visual one. Every figure, animal, and floral detail is rendered with clarity and finesse, the product of a highly skilled workshop weaver working at the peak of tradition.

A majestic, museum-worthy piece for collectors and designers alike, this rug is ideal for formal spaces where history, art, and craftsmanship are equally valued.
