Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB8591 11'10" × 17'3" $85,000

An antique Persian Tabriz rug from circa 1920, this hand-knotted wool carpet reflects one of northwestern Persia’s most respected weaving traditions. Its composition follows an elegant allover floral scheme, with a softly articulated field that reads as both refined and richly layered.

The light beige background is worked with scrolling vines, palmettes, botanical sprays, and a subtle medallion presence that emerges gently rather than asserting itself. Pale blue, sage, soft peach, and warm tan accents keep the drawing delicate and airy, while the overall rhythm recalls the balanced decoration associated with Arts and Crafts-influenced Tabriz design.

A broad floral border frames the field with quiet authority, adding structure without disturbing the rug’s mellow character. The low-contrast palette and fine detail create an atmosphere of understated formality, making this antique Tabriz rug especially well suited to collected interiors that call for historic depth, pattern, and a softened, time-worn elegance.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
