Tabriz Persian Antique Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB8790 11'8" × 14'0" $85,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1920, comes from one of Persia’s most celebrated weaving centers. It carries the poised structure and refined ornamentation for which Tabriz carpets are prized, while its softly aged surface lends the piece a quieter, more atmospheric presence.

A soft beige ground is layered with an elegant allover floral and foliate design, drawn in faded blue, dusty rose, taupe, and cream. A restrained central medallion and mirrored crest-like motifs anchor the composition, while delicate vines, blossoms, and small-scale sprigs fill the field with gentle movement. The result is formal without feeling rigid, with the pattern softened enough to read as lived-in and versatile.

A blue outer border adds definition and contrast, framing the muted interior with a richer note of color. This antique Tabriz balances Persian detail with an understated palette, making it especially effective in traditional, transitional, or collected interiors where texture, heritage, and composure matter.

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.
