Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB9060 9'9" × 11'6" $60,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, presents a refined allover composition from one of Persia’s most celebrated weaving centers. Rather than a single medallion, the design is organized into a compartmented field that feels both ordered and richly decorative, reflecting the discipline and sophistication long associated with classical Tabriz weaving.

Within the warm tan ground, a grid of square panels holds stylized botanical vignettes: flowering branches, cypress-like forms, leafy sprays, and occasional bird motifs rendered with delicate precision. Narrow dividing bands and a slender central axis lend the layout architectural clarity, while the repeated motifs create a steady visual rhythm across the carpet. The effect is detailed without becoming busy, allowing each panel to read as its own small tableau.

Framing the field, the border layers rust red, navy blue, light beige, and soft taupe into scrolling floral ornament and rosette details. The palette is muted yet expressive, giving this antique Tabriz a quiet warmth that works beautifully in traditional, transitional, or collected interiors seeking structure, age, and ornamental depth.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance.
