Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB4034 8'7" × 11'0" $60,000

This early 20th-century Persian Tabriz rug showcases the refinement and artistic mastery that made Tabriz one of Persia’s most celebrated weaving centers. Woven circa 1900, the piece presents a breathtaking composition distinguished by its soft sky-blue field, contrasted with ivory, camel, and earthy brown tones, giving the rug a luminous yet grounded presence.

The design is richly detailed, featuring ornamental medallions filled with figural scenes, including horsemen, mythical creatures, and courtly motifs, all rendered with remarkable precision. These narrative vignettes are framed by lush floral scrollwork and palmettes, demonstrating the weavers’ skill in balancing storytelling with intricate ornamentation. The expansive border continues the theme with delicate arabesques, cloud bands, and botanical elements, providing a harmonious frame that enhances the vibrancy of the field.

Executed in fine wool, the rug combines durability with elegance, its pile still retaining much of its luster despite its age. The interplay of pale blues, creams, and warm browns creates a sophisticated palette that elevates the intricate drawing, making this rug not only a floor covering but also a piece of collectible art.

This Tabriz rug embodies the city’s dual tradition of technical excellence and artistic innovation, making it an exquisite choice for collectors or interiors seeking a statement piece that bridges history, craftsmanship, and beauty.
