Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Dusty Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7568 11'2" × 17'7" $70,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, dating back to circa 1900, is a superb example of refined craftsmanship from one of Iran’s most prestigious weaving centers. Characterized by its allover arabesque design, the rug features an intricate pattern of curving vines, stylized palmettes, and rosettes set against a soft blue field. The delicate floral motifs are rendered with precision, flowing in a symmetrical layout that evokes the architectural elegance typical of classical Persian design.

The main border is composed of a floral meander flanked by multiple guard borders, each filled with complementary botanical elements. The color palette—composed of soft beige, muted ivory, dusty blue, and subtle hints of brown—enhances the rug’s gentle aesthetic while allowing the pattern to maintain visual clarity. The overall impression is one of balance, sophistication, and timeless grace.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug reflects the high knot density and technical mastery associated with antique Tabriz weavings. Though over a century old, it remains in good condition, with surface wear consistent with age and adding to its antique character. This piece would be an elegant addition to traditional, transitional, or contemporary interiors alike.
