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

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1900 and later size adjusted, reflects the refined urban weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Hand-knotted in a classic Tabriz-Kashan idiom, it pairs formal structure with luxuriant ornament, making it an elegant choice for collectors seeking a period Persian carpet with lasting decorative presence. Its hand-knotted wool pile adds a supple texture and the softly aged patina expected from an authentic antique carpet.

The composition is built around a dark midnight ground filled with scrolling vines, palmettes, rosettes, and floral sprays arranged in a tight trellis. Instead of a single overpowering medallion, the design relies on a subtle crest-like center and repeated botanical forms that create depth and movement across the field.

A rich crimson border frames the interior, while ivory guard borders and flashes of aqua blue, teal, gold, pink, and green brighten the palette. The result is a balanced antique floral rug with a formal character and enough complexity to anchor traditional, transitional, or collected interiors with ease.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
