Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB8412 12'10" × 17'10" $95,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1920 in northwest Persia, belongs to the city’s celebrated court weaving tradition and shows the disciplined elegance for which Tabriz carpets are prized. Its layout is formal yet fluid, with a central medallion anchored within an expansive allover floral field.

The inner field reads as a softened rose pink, animated by delicate scrolling vines, palmettes, blossoms, and leafy sprays that drift across the surface in a controlled rhythm. Dark brown outlines, ivory touches, and muted taupe accents sharpen the drawing without losing the rug’s mellow, age-worn character.

A broad border in beige and taupe encloses the composition with a dense floral trellis and smaller guard bands that reinforce the structure. Hand-knotted in wool, this antique Tabriz offers both decorative richness and quiet restraint, making it well suited to interiors that favor layered texture and historic Persian detail.

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. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
