DESCRIPTION OF DESIGN & HISTORY:
Tabriz, capital of the north western Iranian province of Azerbaijan, has for centuries enjoyed a great reputation as a centre of Oriental culture. The vicissitudes of its history, its development from a naturally favoured oasis at the foot of the volcano Sahand, to the commercial centre today, and descriptions of its artists and craftsmen could fill many volumes. The origins of the town stretch far back into antiquity. Genghiz Khan (c.1162-1227), Timur (1336-1405) and Shah Ishmail I (1501-1524), the founder of the Safavid dynasty, all conquered this fulcrum between east and west and made it into one of the great cities of their empires. But it was in Shah Abbas the Great (1586-1628) that Tabriz found its most cultured patron. Wars and severe natural catastrophes such as devastation by earthquake have never overwhelmed the town and its people over the centuries. In the Middle Ages, Tabriz saw a blossoming of the fine arts which influenced the development of carpet design. Manuscript illuminators, silk embroiderers, miniature painters and metal workers all inspired the carpet weavers. The early 18th century saw the end of the Safavid Empire and the decline of the town. Craftsmanship fell into decay. When Heinrich Jacobi of Berlin set up his Persian carpet manufacturing company (Petag) in Tabriz in 1911, only an insignificant number of the traditional wool colours and carpet patterns led to a renaissance of weaving in the town.
This example has a beautiful and subtle concentric medallion that lies in a brown field of Shah-Abbasi and sickle leaf forms enclosed in a strong border of undulating vine scroll. The Abbasi palmette main border is given a dense ornamental character by the rose-red minor borders of rosettes and arabesques.
