这条华美典雅的羊毛毯在图案设计、构图和色调等方面与著名的伊斯法罕、喀桑的地毯非常接近，同时又保有了塔伯利兹自身的风格特征，在欧式装饰风格盛行的20世纪受到了购藏者的格外青睐。它的设计灵感可能来源于两条阿尔达比勒（伊朗西北部一座历史名城）地毯，两者现分别藏于伦敦维多利亚与艾伯特博物馆（Victoria and Albert Museum）和洛杉矶艺术博物馆（Los Angeles County Museum）。
红色的中心葵部分加入了柔和的绿色、湖蓝、奶白色和靛青，与传统的“阿巴斯”图案相比，这张地毯在构图设计上显得更为简洁、大方，从中可以瞥见设计者既依循传统，又有所创新的新思维。主面板的四个边角上装饰有巨大的棕榈叶，形成一种呼应的对角关系，在绿色背景的映衬下格外醒目。编织者对于花卉、枝叶的悉心描绘，不由令人回想起伊斯法罕当年的辉煌。此外，地毯边界在线的纹饰也同样紧致精美，为整幅作品增添了极佳的装饰效果。
The general design approach, composition and tonality of this and the following carpet proved so popular that almost identical works were produced in both Kashan and Isfahan; they nevertheless represent an inherently Tabriz style. This presumably derives from a combination of the classic prototype of the two Ardabil carpets (in the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum) with a typical Tabriz adjustment in response to prevailing Western decorative tastes of the Twentieth Century.
A red medallion mixing pastel greens, eggshell blue and cream with the inevitable dark indigo is undoubtedly a simplified, updated version of the vast Ardabil medallion construction. Four large corner palmettes make for an interesting diagonal compositional effect within the varied palmette-and-leaf secondary pattern that covers the two-tone green ground. The drawing of this stem-lattice is fine and accomplished, recalling that of Isfahans from this period. An undulating vine scroll and “Abbasi” palmette violet main border is given a dense ornamental character by the two primrose-yellow minor borders of polychrome rosettes and arabesques
