Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1880 BB9015 9'4" × 13'1" $40,000

This antique Persian Tabriz carpet, circa 1880, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northwestern Persia in a hand-knotted wool composition. Its carefully resolved allover scheme feels formally balanced yet inviting, offering the kind of antique presence that brings structure to a room without overpowering it.

A muted beige field is overlaid with a repeating trellis of scrolling vines, floral sprays, and medallion-like crests, creating a measured rhythm across the surface. Faded brick red, dusty rose, taupe, and cocoa tones give the pattern depth, while the time-softened palette lends the design a graceful, lived-in character. The drawing remains crisp enough to read as tailored and decorative.

Layered borders frame the composition with fine botanical detail and reinforce the rug’s architectural clarity. The result is a Tabriz antique carpet that works beautifully beneath traditional furnishings or in more contemporary interiors seeking warmth, texture, and a cultured Persian note. Its floral geometry and softened color make it especially adaptable as an elegant anchor.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
