Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB8868 11'3" × 15'6" $90,000

This exquisite antique Persian Tabriz rug, dating from the early 20th century, is a masterclass in artistry, balance, and color harmony. Handwoven in one of Persia’s most renowned weaving centers, the piece showcases the meticulous craftsmanship and sophisticated design sensibility for which Tabriz rugs are celebrated.

The field is a garden of opulent floral medallions, each bursting with intricate botanical motifs in a kaleidoscope of jewel tones—crimson, sapphire, gold, and ivory—set against a deep midnight-blue ground. The interplay of stylized blossoms, scrolling vines, and palmettes creates a rhythmic, almost lyrical composition that draws the eye across the expanse of the carpet.

Framing the field is a regal border rendered in a rich red, adorned with bold palmettes and ornate floral sprays, encased by finely detailed guard borders. The design radiates symmetry and precision, yet retains the warmth and hand-touched irregularities that mark an authentic antique creation.

Woven from the finest wool, the rug’s pile is supple yet durable, its colors softened and enriched by over a century of natural patination. This Tabriz represents the height of Persian weaving tradition—ideal for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a statement piece that blends historic grandeur with timeless elegance.
