Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7488 9'0" × 11'10" $53,000

This exquisite early 20th-century Persian Tabriz rug embodies the refined artistry and craftsmanship of one of Iran’s most esteemed weaving centers. Woven circa 1900, the piece showcases the sophisticated floral designs and harmonious palette for which antique Tabriz rugs are celebrated.

The field is a rich, earthy brown, intricately filled with an allover lattice of stylized blossoms, palmettes, and leafy tendrils. Subtle accents of soft beige, muted teal, and gentle rose add depth and dimension, allowing the delicate patterning to emerge gracefully against the darker ground. The central medallion, understated yet elegant, is seamlessly integrated into the surrounding floral network, reinforcing the rug’s balanced and continuous flow.

A complementary border frames the field, featuring an elaborate arrangement of angular palmettes, rosettes, and interlacing vines, set against a warm brown backdrop. This layered border structure not only enhances the composition but also draws the eye inward, creating a sense of harmony and enclosure.

Hand-knotted from fine wool, this rug retains the supple texture and natural sheen of high-quality Persian pile. The mellowed colors reflect a century of graceful aging, giving it a dignified, time-softened character without diminishing its intricate detail.

This antique Tabriz rug is a versatile size, well-suited for both traditional and eclectic interiors. Whether placed in a formal sitting room, library, or dining space, it offers an enduring testament to the artistry and cultural heritage of Persian weaving.
