Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Geometric Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1940 BB8531 9'2" × 12'3" $41,000

This antique Persian Tabriz carpet, woven circa 1940, reflects the disciplined weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Its hand-knotted composition reads as an allover geometric design rather than a single medallion, giving the rug a formal presence that suits both classic rooms and more edited contemporary interiors.

A cream-beige field is layered with repeating latticework, stylized floral blossoms, and small crest-like units, while broad diagonal bands in soft blue and dusty peach create a measured rhythm across the surface. The motifs feel architectural yet airy, with age-softened contrast that keeps the drawing crisp without becoming heavy.

A structured border frames the interior pattern with hexagonal cartouches, flower forms, and narrow guard stripes, reinforcing the rug’s balanced geometry. The restrained palette of ivory, slate blue, pale sand, and blush tones allows it to ground furnishings elegantly, bringing clarity and quiet character to a dining room, library, or living space, especially where a pale antique rug is needed to soften darker furnishings.

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. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
