Exquisite Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8874 8'5" × 11'4" $32,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven in Iran circa 1900, belongs to the refined northwest Persian tradition celebrated for its technical precision and elegant decorative balance. Hand-knotted in wool, it carries the quiet authority of a period carpet made for a cultivated interior, offering both history and an inviting, room-anchoring presence.

A light beige field is filled with a finely worked allover floral and foliate pattern, where palmettes, rosettes, vine scrolls, and stylized leaves settle into a measured, almost lace-like rhythm. The design is restrained yet deeply layered, with small medallion-like crests surfacing throughout and keeping the eye in motion across the entire composition.

A navy blue border frames the rug with crisp floral ornament, while slim guard borders add further definition without disturbing the calm palette of dusty blue, warm taupe, and soft tan. Subtle fading lends the piece an aged luminosity, making it especially well suited to traditional, transitional, or collected rooms that favor pattern depth over sharp contrast.

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.
