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

This exquisite antique Persian Tabriz rug, dating from the early 20th century, showcases the masterful artistry for which Tabriz weavers are celebrated. Its field is adorned with an intricate all-over design featuring stylized palmettes, rosettes, and serrated leaves interwoven with scrolling vine motifs. The arrangement of floral medallions in soft shades of sky blue, ivory, and rose stands out beautifully against the deep, earthy brown ground, creating a rich sense of depth and texture.

Graceful boteh-inspired motifs, reminiscent of curled leaves or paisleys, repeat rhythmically across the surface, emphasizing the harmony and balance of the composition. The borders frame the central field with layered floral meanders—an ivory main border filled with stylized blossoms and palmettes, flanked by narrower guard stripes with repeating rosettes.

Woven in wool on a cotton foundation, this rug exemplifies the fine craftsmanship and refined aesthetic of Tabriz workshops in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The palette, dominated by warm reds, soft blues, ivory, and subtle greens, has mellowed beautifully over time, lending the piece an elegant patina.

With its timeless design and meticulous detail, this Persian Tabriz rug is not only a superb decorative textile but also a collector’s treasure, embodying the sophistication of one of Persia’s most renowned weaving centers.

This rug from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a collectible statement of refined taste and exceptional craftsmanship—it is also a rare survival of the modernist movement as interpreted through Persian textile tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
