Tabriz Persian Antique Medallion Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB5421 4'6" × 6'9" $22,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1920, reflects the refined carpet tradition of northwestern Persia and is hand-knotted in wool with the precision associated with Tabriz workshops.

A warm tan field sets a quiet stage for a formal medallion-and-vine composition, where mirrored florals, scrolling foliate lines, palmettes, and cartouche-like details unfold in layered symmetry. The pattern is softened by age, allowing the design to read as elegant rather than rigid. Light blue, navy, rust, and sage accents enliven the composition and add just enough contrast to keep the surface visually open.

The border repeats floral reserves around the perimeter, giving the rug clear structure and a polished frame. Its muted palette and gentle patina make it especially versatile in traditional, transitional, and collected interiors, where an antique Persian medallion rug can bring history, texture, and measured formality without visual heaviness. Its scale and restraint also suit spaces that need pattern without dominance.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance.
