Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1880 BB4172 4'4" × 6'5" $8,000

A striking example of antique Tabriz weaving, this rug features a luminous honey-yellow field enlivened by a bold, all-over pattern of enlarged boteh motifs. The repeating botehs are staggered across the surface, each enclosed within delicate vinery that moves with elegance between the larger forms. A matching honey-toned border with scattered, abstract leaf-forms frames the composition, balancing softness and contrast.

The interplay between the warm golden field and deep black outlines delivers both warmth and definition: the black contours accentuate the shapes of the botehs and the vine work, lending crisp clarity while preserving an overall rich, inviting glow. The lighter tones of honey yellow draw the eye across the field, creating a radiant and continuous surface.

Hand-woven in wool, the rug exhibits the density and craftsmanship characteristic of premium Tabriz pieces of this era. The knotting delivers precision in the motifs, especially in the detailed vinery and the edges of each boteh, demonstrating both durability and visual depth.

Ideal for interiors seeking a vibrant accent with historical character, this rug brings warmth and pattern. It suits both classic and transitional spaces, pairing especially well with muted furnishings where it can serve as the focal point, or richer decor where it enhances ambiance with its deep tones and timeless design.

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.
