No. 161986 – 220 × 152 cm
Wool on cotton base
A fictional portkey might transport you through time and space in stories like Harry Potter or The Wheel of Time, but certain works of art can achieve this in the real world. This breathtaking Tabriz rug is one such creation—offering a portal to a slower, more peaceful era when the sky was truly blue, and the whispers of nature could still be heard.
Woven nearly a century ago, this pictorial rug radiates tranquillity and hypnotic charm, guiding the viewer into a calm, reflective state. The wool is handspun, the dyes are 100% natural, and every knot was formed with love—typical of pieces by the celebrated master Haddad, whose discreet signature rests in the lower border.
The scene depicts the hauntingly beautiful ruins of the Blue Mosque of Tabriz, originally built in 1480 AD and tragically damaged in the 1778 earthquake. Its broken majesty has been preserved through the meticulous craftsmanship of this rug, a testament to the cultural and artistic legacy of Persia.
