Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7524 10'5" × 13'10" $65,000

This exquisite 19th-century Persian Tabriz rug (circa 1880s) exemplifies the sophistication and artistry for which the Tabriz weaving tradition is celebrated. Woven in one of Persia’s most renowned carpet-producing centers, this antique showcases both technical mastery and a graceful, timeless aesthetic.

The rug features an all-over floral design, where densely scattered blossoms, rosettes, and leafy vines float across a soft beige field. The palette is a refined harmony of ivory, pale blue, golden wheat, and warm brown, lending the rug an airy, almost luminous quality. The botanical motifs vary in scale and direction, creating a naturalistic, garden-like rhythm that draws the viewer into its intricate details.

Framing the central field is a broad border of interconnected floral sprays, rendered in more saturated tones of blue and gold, which enhances the rug’s sense of balance and grandeur. Guard stripes filled with smaller floral patterns provide additional layers of refinement, ensuring a seamless transition between field and border.

True to the Tabriz tradition, the weave is exceptionally fine, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship of master weavers. Its age-softened colors and gentle patina add to the rug’s elegance, giving it the warmth and character of a true antique.

Measuring generously, this Persian Tabriz rug is not only a testament to late 19th-century Persian artistry but also a versatile decorative piece that can elevate both traditional and modern interiors.
