Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB3359 10'3" × 12'10" $53,000

This exquisite Antique Persian Tabriz Rug from the 1880s showcases the masterful artistry of one of Persia’s most renowned weaving centers. Its finely executed design is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Tabriz, where carpets were celebrated for both their technical precision and artistic beauty.

The rug presents an elegant all-over floral pattern, filled with meticulously drawn palmettes, rosettes, and stylized blossoms connected by gracefully scrolling vines. The soft, earthy color palette—featuring muted beige, ivory, camel, taupe, and faded blues with touches of terracotta—creates a timeless, understated sophistication. The subtle abrashed tones across the field give the piece additional depth and character, reflecting the natural dyes and the patina of age.

Framing the central field is a beautifully composed floral border, where larger botanical motifs alternate with delicate rosettes and leaves, all set against a warm mauve-taupe ground that enhances the rug’s sense of balance and harmony. The interplay of scale between the border and the field enriches the composition without overpowering it.

Woven with a fine knot density typical of Tabriz workshops, the rug embodies exceptional craftsmanship, durability, and attention to detail. Its restrained elegance and balanced design make it a versatile piece—equally suited for classic interiors as for modern spaces seeking an element of historic refinement.

This 19th-century Persian Tabriz is not just a decorative object but a cultural artifact, offering both aesthetic beauty and a tangible link to the artistry of Persia’s weaving tradition.
