Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Ivory Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB7406 9'0" × 12'5" $58,000

This antique Persian Tabriz carpet, hand-knotted in wool around 1900, belongs to the celebrated weaving tradition of northwestern Iran. Rather than centering on a single medallion, it unfolds as a disciplined allover composition, with interlaced floral and trellis forms repeating across a slate gray ground.

Curving vines, rosettes, and palmette-like blossoms create a measured rhythm that feels formal yet lively, giving the field a layered depth well suited to traditional and transitional interiors. The drawing is unusually crisp for an antique Tabriz, and the palette has softened into burgundy, dusty rose, teal, ivory beige, and muted green accents.

A series of floral borders frames the design with equal precision, reinforcing its architectural presence. Woven with the refinement expected of a hand-knotted Persian carpet, it offers the character of an early 20th-century antique rug while remaining versatile enough for a library, dining room, or formal sitting area. Its wool pile and time-worn patina add softness and depth.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
