Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB7207 11'3" × 14'4" $69,000

This antique Persian Tabriz carpet, woven circa 1900, comes from one of northwestern Persia’s most esteemed weaving traditions. Hand-knotted in wool, it combines the discipline of a formal Tabriz layout with the ease of an allover antique rug, giving the piece both structure and movement.

A soft beige field sets the tone for a dense botanical composition worked in dusty blue, brown, taupe, and light gray. A compact medallion crest anchors the center, while mirrored vines, palmettes, and floral sprays spread outward in a trellis-like rhythm. The drawing is finely worked yet gently softened by age, so the ornament reads with painterly clarity rather than sharp contrast.

Framing the field, the border layers floral vine scrolls and small blossoms in a balanced hierarchy that enhances the rug’s formal character. The result is a refined antique Persian carpet that brings warmth, depth, and quiet pattern to traditional interiors as well as more transitional rooms.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
