Size(m): 2.75×2.02
This exquisite pictorial rug, a masterpiece from the city of Tabriz, is a woven narrative of one of the most pivotal moments in biblical, Muslim, and Jewish histories—the discovery of Moses by Pharaoh's daughter. Handcrafted with superfine wool, this rug measures an impressive 2.75 meters by 2.02 meters, making it a grand statement piece for any space.
Despite its stylized depiction, which eschews historical accuracy for a more timeless and universal appeal, the rug captures the essence of this miraculous event with profound beauty and grace. The young Moses, vulnerably positioned upon a makeshift bed of straw, symbolizes the fragile beginnings from which great destinies can emerge, highlighting the divine intervention and miraculous grace that guide and protect life's most precious gifts.
Surrounding Pharaoh's daughter, a magnificent assembly of angels is meticulously rendered, their presence emphasizing the celestial significance of this discovery. The composition is vibrant, with a spectrum of colors that breathe life into the scene—lush greens of the fertile landscape, radiant blues of the clear sky, and the rich hues of the figures' garments, ranging from deep reds to sunny yellows.
Central to the composition, a group of cherubs with delicate wings hovers joyously, while a larger, more imposing angel dominates the mid-ground, serving as a protective guardian over the unfolding scene. This depiction is not just a portrayal of a biblical story but a celebration of joy, miracle, and divine grace, captured through the artful manipulation of color and form.
The rug is elegantly framed by a wide guard border, adorned with motifs in shades of coral, yellow, and gold, set against a backdrop of soft pink-mauve. This thoughtful choice of colors not only complements the main narrative but also enhances the overall aesthetic appeal, making the rug a true work of art.
This Tabriz rug, with its significant size and breathtaking depiction, offers itself as both a luxurious floor covering and a magnificent wall hanging. It invites not just admiration but a deeper reflection on the themes of fragility, grace, and destiny. Destined to become a treasured family heirloom, this rug promises to bring endless joy and beauty to any home, a testament to the enduring power of faith and the timeless appeal of exquisite craftsmanship.
