Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral In Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB6801 9'1" × 12'10" $65,000

This early 20th-century Persian Tabriz rug is a striking example of the refinement and grandeur for which the Tabriz weaving tradition is celebrated. Woven circa 1900, the rug presents a sophisticated interplay of warm golden sand, soft ivory, and deep espresso brown, creating a rich yet harmonious palette that has mellowed beautifully with age.

The field is adorned with an intricate all-over latticework of medallions and cartouches, each filled with stylized floral motifs, scrolling vines, and geometric accents. The precision of the drawing demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship typical of master Tabriz workshops, where design complexity and technical skill were seamlessly united.

Framing the field is a distinguished border system, where rosettes, palmettes, and meandering vine scrolls repeat in rhythmic succession. The outer guard stripes, with their delicate floral motifs, add balance and refinement to the bold central composition.

The rug’s palette and design speak to the sophistication of Tabriz weaving at the turn of the century, where Persian artistry was adapted to appeal to both traditional Persian patrons and the growing Western market. Its versatility allows it to complement both classic interiors with antique furnishings and modern spaces that benefit from the warmth of an historic textile.

This piece embodies both decorative appeal and collectible value. The combination of its fine weave, carefully balanced color story, and architectural design make it a quintessential example of antique Persian Tabriz craftsmanship from the early 1900s.
