Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8878 10'7" × 15'2" $70,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1900 in northwestern Persia, reflects the refined workshop tradition that made Tabriz one of the region’s most respected carpet centers.

The field is organized around a disciplined allover boteh repeat, with each paisley-shaped motif set into a dense network of fine floral tracery. Its cool blue ground is softened by ivory, warm beige, and brown notes, creating a measured contrast that keeps the pattern clear without becoming severe. The result is a design with movement and restraint in equal measure, closely aligned with the more formal Kashan- and Tabriz-influenced Persian vocabulary.

Narrow guard stripes and a more substantial border surround the composition with palmettes, vines, and smaller boteh details, giving the rug strong architectural definition. Hand-knotted in wool, it offers the supple surface and lasting presence associated with antique Persian rugs, while its calm palette works especially well beneath furniture groupings or in interiors that call for pattern with composure.

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.
