Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7368 9'9" × 13'10" $48,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1920 in northwestern Persia, reflects the city’s long tradition of finely drawn hand-knotted carpets. Made in wool, it presents the measured elegance for which Tabriz weavings are prized, even as age has softened the surface into a quiet, atmospheric patina.

The field is organized by an allover floral trellis, with medallion-like nodes and scrolling vine work that create a steady architectural rhythm across the pale sand ground. Time has gently attenuated the ornament, allowing dusty blue, muted peach, and soft terracotta accents to surface with restraint rather than contrast. A narrow border frames the composition and reinforces its classical Persian balance.

Because the pattern remains low-contrast and evenly dispersed, the rug brings historic character without visual weight. It works well in interiors that call for subtle texture, especially beneath furniture groupings, where the faded lattice and softened palette add depth while keeping the room calm and composed.

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.
