Tabriz Persian Antique Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB8562 12'8" × 21'5" $130,000

This 1880’s antique Persian Tabriz rug exemplifies the masterful artistry of one of Iran’s most celebrated weaving centers. The piece features a richly detailed field adorned with an intricate all-over floral pattern, where stylized blossoms, scrolling vines, and delicate palmettes intertwine in a harmonious rhythm. A deep, warm terracotta ground sets the stage for the elaborate motifs, accented by soft ivory, muted teal, and gentle indigo outlines that enhance the visual depth.

At the heart of the composition, an elegant medallion emerges, seamlessly integrated into the surrounding ornamentation, giving the design both symmetry and subtle grandeur. The main border is a tapestry of finely rendered floral sprays set against a complementary blue background, framed by multiple guard stripes with refined botanical motifs.

The rug’s palette has matured beautifully over time, with the vegetable dyes aging into a soft, timeworn patina that speaks to its authenticity and history. Hand-knotted with exceptional craftsmanship, this Tabriz showcases not only the region’s precision in weaving but also its ability to balance complexity with elegance. Measuring on a grand scale, it is perfectly suited for making a statement in a formal living space, dining room, or gallery.

This piece is more than a decorative textile—it is a work of art, embodying over a century of Persian weaving tradition.
