Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7248 13'0" × 17'5" $75,000

This magnificent antique Persian Tabriz rug from the early 20th century is a stunning example of masterful Persian weaving and design. Woven circa 1900, the rug features a richly detailed all-over pattern of arabesque vines, palmettes, and stylized floral motifs that interlace seamlessly across a spacious terracotta-red field.

Delicate shades of midnight blue, ivory, and soft beige lend the composition a refined elegance, while the saturated coral ground infuses the rug with warmth and vitality. The harmonious color palette, though slightly muted with age, reflects the natural dyes characteristic of antique Tabriz craftsmanship.

The rug’s wide border, rendered in a deep indigo, showcases a dramatic scrolling vine and rosette motif, creating a striking frame that contrasts beautifully with the ornate field. Additional narrow guard borders, decorated with floral sprays and geometric patterns, provide a graceful transition and contribute to the overall architectural balance.

Crafted in the esteemed weaving centers of Tabriz—long celebrated for their artistic heritage and technical precision—this piece exemplifies the high standards of quality associated with the region. The intricate design and meticulous weave suggest it may have been commissioned for a prominent home or collector.
