Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8618 12'5" × 22'2" $135,000

This exquisite early 20th-century Persian Tabriz rug showcases the masterful artistry and refined elegance for which the weaving tradition of Tabriz is celebrated. Woven circa 1900, the piece features an intricate all-over botanical pattern rendered in a harmonious palette of warm apricot, muted gold, and delicate sky-blue tones, all set against a softly aged ivory ground.

The meticulous design displays an abundance of scrolling vines, palmettes, rosettes, and stylized floral sprays, seamlessly interconnected to create a balanced and symmetrical composition. The central field flows organically into a richly ornamented border, where meandering floral garlands and smaller blossoms are framed by multiple guard bands, each carrying its own delicate motif.

The rug’s muted coloration—tempered by over a century of graceful aging—gives it a sophisticated, almost watercolor-like appearance, making it ideal for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Its fine weave, precise drawing, and enduring wool quality attest to the skill of the Tabriz weavers of the period.

A rare antique in excellent preservation, this Tabriz rug is both a work of art and a testament to the timeless beauty of Persian craftsmanship.
