Tabriz Persian Antique Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB7159 11'0" × 13'4" $80,000

With its elegant all-over design and harmonious palette of muted blues, taupes, and creams, this early 20th-century Persian Tabriz rug captures the finesse and artistic heritage for which the Tabriz weaving tradition is celebrated. Crafted circa 1920, the piece is a testament to the city’s long-standing legacy as a center of Persian textile excellence.

The field presents a masterful display of interconnected floral motifs arranged in a precise lattice pattern, where stylized blossoms and delicate vinery repeat in rhythm with medallion-like symmetry. The naturalistic floral flourishes recall the lush gardens of Safavid Persia, while the layout reflects the intellectual rigor and refined aesthetic sensibilities of the master weavers of Tabriz.

Rendered in a subdued yet evocative color palette, the rug features soft cerulean, steel blue, and faded ivory tones grounded by ochre and camel accents—imbuing the composition with a gentle patina that speaks to its age and authenticity. These mellow hues, combined with the delicately abrashed wool, lend the piece a painterly quality that is both sophisticated and serene.

The border complements the field with a majestic floral meander enclosed by minor guard bands, articulating a sense of completion and balance. Woven by hand from high-grade wool, the rug reveals its pedigree in its tight weave and crisp detailing—a mark of excellence characteristic of fine Tabriz carpets.

Measuring over 13 by 11 feet, this rug is ideally suited for anchoring a formal living room, dining area, or library with understated grandeur. Whether paired with antique furnishings or contemporary interiors, it offers a quiet sense of opulence and enduring beauty.

A rare find in this large format and exquisite condition, this antique Tabriz rug is not merely a floor covering, but a collector-worthy work of decorative art, gracefully bearing the marks of time and the hand of a master.
