Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7307 11'3" × 18'0" $105,000

This antique Persian Tabriz floral rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northwestern Persia with a formal, collectible presence.

Its muted beige field is layered with an allover network of foliate vines, palmettes, rosettes, and crest-like medallions in soft brown, taupe, and dusty blue. The drawing is finely worked yet softened by age, so the ornament reads with a quiet, painterly rhythm rather than sharp contrast. A denser border in deeper brown frames the composition and gives the rug a clear architectural structure.

That balance of precision and restraint is a hallmark of Tabriz carpet making, where elegant coloration and intricate floral patterning often meet in an urbane, decorative language. The result is an antique Persian rug that can anchor a seating area, dining room, or library with warmth, texture, and historical depth while remaining versatile enough for layered 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.
