Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Golden Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7155 6'7" × 9'3" $14,000

This exquisite 1920s Persian Tabriz rug captures the elegance and artistry of one of Persia’s most renowned weaving centers. Woven with precision and finesse, the rug showcases an intricate all-over boteh and floral design set against a striking crimson red field. The boteh motifs, precursors to the paisley, unfurl gracefully among a dense network of leafy tendrils and blossoms, creating a sense of movement and rhythm throughout the composition.

The palette is particularly vibrant: deep ruby red dominates the ground, while accents of emerald green, sapphire blue, soft rose, golden yellow, and ivory bring depth and vitality to the design. The richly decorated border, adorned with blooming rosettes and stylized blossoms, frames the field beautifully, adding layers of contrast and harmony.

Crafted in the early 20th century, this Tabriz rug reflects the sophistication of Persian workshop weaving at its height, where durability met aesthetic refinement. Its fine wool and balanced proportions make it not only a functional floor covering but also a piece of timeless artistry, suitable for both traditional and eclectic interiors.

This rug from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a collectible statement of refined taste and exceptional craftsmanship—it is also a rare survival of the modernist movement as interpreted through Persian textile tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
