Antique Tabriz Medallion Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB9207 9'6" × 12'6" $45,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1920, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northwestern Persia, where city carpets were prized for balanced drawing and elegant ornament.

A pale light beige field gives the composition a luminous, airy quality, while a dusty blue medallion anchors the center with calm symmetry. Delicate floral and foliate vines unfurl across the surface, forming graceful arabesques that soften the structure and keep the pattern fluid rather than rigid. Warm peach, soft gold, and muted taupe accents add quiet depth without disturbing the restrained palette.

Framing the field is a measured border hierarchy: a narrow inner guard, a wider floral band, and an outer edging punctuated by small blue motifs. The result is a formal yet versatile Persian medallion rug that suits traditional interiors, transitional rooms, or layered contemporary spaces looking for a collected, timeworn character, with enough restraint to let furniture and artwork breathe. Its softly worn surface enhances the antique charm.

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.
