Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB6683 15'0" × 16'0" $130,000

This exquisite oversized antique Tabriz rug from the early 20th century is a stunning example of Persian artistry and technical excellence. Rendered in a grand square format, the piece displays the meticulous precision and refined elegance that the city of Tabriz has long been known for.

The field features an allover pattern of interconnected medallions and floral rosettes arranged in a harmonious lattice structure. Each medallion is unique, alternating in shape and palette with light ivory, sky blue, pale teal, and cocoa brown tones, all set against a rich midnight-navy ground. The result is a visually balanced and rhythmically flowing design that evokes the formality and richness of classical Persian gardens.

Surrounding the densely patterned field is a striking series of guard borders and a wide main border. These are adorned with stylized flowerheads, palmettes, and subtle vine scrolls in a muted rose-beige tone that gently contrasts with the saturated blues of the field, lending the rug both gravitas and softness.

This rug showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of the Tabriz weaving tradition, noted for its high knot density and precise detailing. Its vast proportions make it ideal for grand interiors or gallery settings, where it can serve as both a grounding element and a statement of historical luxury.

Despite its age, the carpet has retained its vibrancy and intricacy, speaking to the quality of the materials and dyes used. The balance of geometry and floral expression makes it not only a functional floor covering but also a collectible work of textile art.
