Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7311 10'8" × 18'6" $90,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven in the early 1900s, exemplifies the refined artistry and meticulous craftsmanship of the Tabriz weaving tradition. The rug features an intricate all-over floral pattern rendered in a harmonious palette of warm gold, soft ivory, muted blues, and terracotta accents. The delicate vines, blossoms, and palmettes unfurl across the field in a graceful, symmetrical arrangement, embodying the Persian mastery of balance and proportion.

The central field, dominated by a golden backdrop, is adorned with scrolling vinery and stylized floral motifs, executed with remarkable clarity and precision. The composition reflects the Tabriz school’s ability to merge naturalistic detail with decorative abstraction, creating a timeless aesthetic.

Framing the design, the border showcases a series of cartouches and rosettes, each intricately outlined and filled with complementary floral elements. Layers of finely articulated guard borders add rhythm and depth to the overall composition, tying the central field seamlessly into its frame.

The rug’s coloration has softened beautifully with age, enhancing its antique character while preserving the vibrancy of its motifs. The subtle contrast between the warm field and the cool blues and ivories in the details lends the piece both elegance and versatility.

With its impressive size, this antique Tabriz rug would serve as a striking foundation for a grand interior, combining decorative sophistication with historical significance. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Persian weaving at the turn of the 20th century.
