Antique Tabriz Floral Allover Light Blue Hand-Knotted Rug BB9225 9'0" × 12'0" $29,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted circa 1920, reflects the elegant weaving tradition of northwestern Iran with the balance and precision for which Tabriz carpets are celebrated. Its composition is formal yet airy, with a finely worked allover floral design that feels restrained, collectible, and enduring.

A light blue field creates a serene backdrop for scrolling vines, palmettes, rosettes, and small botanical forms drawn in warm taupe and accents of deep navy. The pattern unfolds across the surface in a measured rhythm, with graceful curves and mirrored floral elements that give the rug a sense of movement without overwhelming the eye. Softly aged color adds to its character.

The border is rendered in cream and taupe tones, decorated with repeating blossoms and vine scrolls that frame the field with clarity. This antique Tabriz works beautifully in formal living rooms, studies, and layered interiors where a Persian floral rug can bring both quiet color and historic depth.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau’s grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
