Antique Tabriz Persian Medallion Dusty Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB5583 12'4" × 19'0" $85,000

A grand statement in scale and artistry, this Persian Tabriz carpet measures 12′4″ × 19′0″, offering a spacious canvas for its formal botanical design.

The field is richly textured in an abrash light reddish-brown, overlaid with a fine Herati pattern and small diamond-framed flower heads that orbit concentric stepped central medallions in ivory. These medallions also possess enlarged ivory spandrels that echo the inner motif in silhouetted contrast.

Framing this central composition is a broad brown Herati border, where the floral and vine work amplifies the rug’s symmetry and decorative balance. The interplay between the mellow brown field and the ivory medallion elements gives a striking clarity and sense of depth.

Woven with fine wool and showcasing high-quality hand knotting, this rug reflects the formal elegance typical of early 20th-century Tabriz weaving. Its refined palette, precise botanical motifs, and grand dimensions make it a compelling focal point—ideal for formal settings, galleries, or elegant architectural interiors.

This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship.
