Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Light Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8571 12'3" × 19'0" $105,000

This exquisite 1900s Antique Persian Tabriz rug showcases the artistry and sophistication of one of Persia’s most renowned weaving centers. Measuring an impressive 19 by 12 feet, the rug features a richly detailed all-over floral pattern rendered in a harmonious palette of soft blues, warm terracottas, muted creams, and delicate rose tones.

The field is adorned with an elegant lattice of scrolling vines and large-scale rosettes, gracefully interwoven with intricate leaves and blossoms. The masterful use of color fading—achieved naturally through time—imbues the rug with a refined, almost painterly patina. Surrounding the field, a series of layered borders incorporate geometric motifs and stylized floral elements, creating a balanced frame that enhances the central design.

Woven with high-quality wool, this Tabriz retains much of its original craftsmanship despite visible signs of age and wear, which add to its antique character and charm. The composition, scale, and tonal subtleties make it an exceptional piece for collectors and connoisseurs seeking an authentic example of early 20th-century Persian weaving.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
