Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8764 9'2" × 11'7" $65,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, circa 1900, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northwestern Persia, where elegant city carpets were prized for their balance and detail.

A soft beige field is worked with a delicate allover lattice of palmettes, flowering vines, and rosette-like blossoms, organized around a subtle medallion-crest structure. The pattern is disciplined yet lyrical, with scrolling blue arabesques tracing the design and lending it an airy, faded contrast. Rather than reading as graphic, the ornament feels softly dispersed, a hallmark of age and graceful wear.

A subdued border system frames the composition in washed blue and ivory tones, reinforcing the rug’s collected character. The overall effect is quiet and formal, making this antique Tabriz especially effective in rooms that need warmth, texture, and Persian floral character without visual heaviness. Its hand-knotted construction adds to the appeal, pairing decorative refinement with the durability collectors value in antique Persian rugs.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
