Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB6604 11'6" × 16'2" $65,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1900, comes from one of Persia’s most celebrated weaving centers and is executed in a hand-knotted wool construction. It carries the quiet authority of early 20th-century Tabriz workmanship, where balance, precision, and decorative richness were paramount.

The soft beige field is arranged in a formal allover trellis of floral forms, with palmettes, rosettes, and scrolling vine work unfolding in measured symmetry. Medallion-like reserves appear throughout the composition, giving the design a subtle sense of rhythm without a single dominant center. The drawing is fine and delicate, yet the repeat remains clear and architecturally composed.

A series of layered borders frames the field, including a darker inner guard and a broader outer band animated by floral ornament. Muted gold, slate blue, teal, and brown lend depth to the ivory ground, while the time-softened surface adds warmth and character. Elegant and versatile, this antique Tabriz Persian rug suits traditional interiors as well as more transitional rooms that call for historic texture and refined detail.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
