Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB3325 11'0" × 14'0" $80,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, crafted in the early 20th century, exemplifies the artistry and refinement for which Tabriz weaving is celebrated. Its field displays an elegant allover botanical design, where delicate vines, curling tendrils, and finely drawn blossoms meander with a sense of rhythm and balance. Rendered in a sophisticated palette of soft beige, earthy brown, and muted shades of blue, the composition achieves both harmony and depth, giving the rug a timeless aesthetic.

The border is especially striking, with a series of richly detailed floral guard bands framing the central design. The main border, in a deep indigo-blue ground, highlights palmettes and rosettes connected by leafy vinery, offering a bold contrast to the lighter field. Smaller floral borders on either side create a layered sense of framing that emphasizes the rug’s symmetry.

The craftsmanship of this piece reflects the precision of Tabriz weaving traditions—characterized by fine knotting, intricate detailing, and a balance between naturalism and stylization. Its gentle abrash (color variation from natural dyes) enhances the texture and depth, while the gracefully aged tones impart an air of understated sophistication.

With its combination of decorative elegance and superb artistry, this 1900s Tabriz rug would bring refinement and character to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
