Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB3182 10'6" × 14'8" $75,000

This elegant 1920s Persian Tabriz rug embodies the refined artistry of one of Iran’s most celebrated weaving centers. Hand-knotted in wool, the rug presents a delicate, time-softened palette of sandy beige, muted turquoise, and gentle brown outlines. The field is adorned with a finely drawn botanical design featuring stylized blossoms, leafy tendrils, and arabesque motifs, rendered with a graceful balance of symmetry and flow.

The faded patina of the rug enhances its antique character, allowing the subtle floral tracery and pale accents to emerge with understated beauty. The abrash (natural tonal variations in the dye) adds depth and texture, testifying to the rug’s authenticity and handwoven heritage. A faint border with intricate vine scrolls and floral details frames the central field, completing the composition with quiet sophistication.

With its restrained elegance and versatile colorway, this antique Tabriz rug is not only a collectible piece of Persian craftsmanship but also a timeless decorative element that harmonizes effortlessly with both traditional and contemporary interiors.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and 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.
