Tabriz Persian Antique Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB4227 11'6" × 13'9" $85,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug from the early 1900s showcases the exceptional artistry for which the weaving ateliers of Tabriz have long been celebrated. Hand-knotted with masterful precision, the rug presents an expansive beige-taupe field filled with a delicate allover pattern of spiraling vines, flowering shrubs, and stylized palmettes, drawn with the refined elegance that defines the best of Tabriz craftsmanship.

The palette is subtle yet sophisticated—muted earth tones of sand and camel enriched with soft terracotta, gentle taupe, and outlines in midnight indigo. This restrained coloration gives the rug a timeless versatility, allowing it to harmonize beautifully with both traditional and modern interiors.

A series of borders frames the central field, the primary one featuring scrolling palmettes and rosettes in a softened terracotta-gold tone, complemented by narrow guard stripes with floral meanders. Together, they provide structure to the fluid, botanical design within.

Finely woven in high-quality wool on a cotton foundation, this Tabriz rug bears the hallmarks of durability, elegance, and balance. Over more than a century, its natural dyes have aged gracefully, developing a subtle patina and abrash that enhance its depth and character.

With its understated palette, classical Persian motifs, and refined execution, this antique Tabriz rug is not only a decorative foundation but also a distinguished example of Persia’s enduring weaving tradition.
