Tabriz Persian Antique Floral Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7143 12'4" × 22'8" $150,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northwestern Persia in a floor covering suited to gracious interiors. Hand-knotted in wool, it balances ornamental richness with the disciplined symmetry for which Tabriz workshops are admired.

The dark navy field is densely organized with an allover botanical lattice of rosettes, palmettes, serrated leaves, and scrolling vines. Cream, dusty rose, muted gold, olive, and slate tones soften the composition, giving the floral motifs a gently aged, painterly quality rather than sharp contrast. Repeated medallion-like blossoms create rhythm across the surface, while the vinework keeps the pattern architectural.

A broad floral border frames the field with a clear hierarchy, echoing the same palette in a lighter register and reinforcing the rug’s formal presence. The result is a Persian antique rug that brings depth, heritage, and understated color to traditional rooms, layered contemporary settings, or spaces that call for a disciplined yet decorative anchor.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
