Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Geometric Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Runner – Circa 1900 BB5474 2'5" × 25'0" $27,000

Antique Persian Tabriz runner, circa 1900, this hand-knotted wool piece reflects the refined weaving tradition of northwestern Persia in a long, architectural format well suited to hallways and galleries. Its formal balance and disciplined repeat speak to the technical precision for which Tabriz carpets are prized.

The composition unfolds across a light beige field in a steady rhythm of linked geometric medallions, rosettes, and stylized vine-and-leaf motifs. Rather than relying on a single focal point, the design creates movement through repetition, with each unit carefully aligned to form an elegant trellis-like structure. Soft dusty blue, warm tan, and deep brown accents lend definition without disturbing the rug’s calm, understated palette.

A substantial border frames the field with angular floral elements and nested bands, reinforcing the runner’s composed, formal character. The fine hand-knotting allows the intricate drawing to remain crisp, while the wool pile adds warmth and durability. The result is a versatile antique Persian rug that brings pattern, history, and quiet sophistication to both traditional and transitional interiors.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
