Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB6703 12'8" × 18'10" $120,000

This exquisite late 19th-century Persian Tabriz rug embodies the refinement and artistry for which the workshops of Tabriz were celebrated. Its expansive field, rendered in a luminous shade of warm beige softened with undertones of ivory and pale gold, serves as a gentle backdrop for a graceful all-over design of intertwining vines and blossoming florals.

The delicate botanical motifs, drawn with remarkable precision, unfurl across the surface in tones of powder blue, silvery gray, muted cocoa, and subtle touches of salmon, creating a tapestry of color that shifts with the light. The soft, painterly quality of the palette enhances the rug’s sense of harmony, while the controlled repetition of form lends rhythm and quiet movement to the composition.

A series of complementary borders frame the field, their pale beige ground enriched with scrolling vine and blossom patterns, echoing the central design while providing a sense of balance and containment. The overall impression is one of lightness and sophistication—an understated elegance that is the hallmark of the finest Tabriz weavings.

Woven circa 1880, this carpet reflects both the technical mastery and artistic sensibility of its makers. Its restrained yet radiant palette and finely executed patterning make it not only a testament to the enduring legacy of Persian craftsmanship but also a timeless work of decorative art suited to the most discerning interiors.
