Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB9013 11'10" × 15'8" $85,000

Antique Persian Tabriz rug, circa 1900, hand-knotted in wool, this large-format piece comes from one of northwestern Persia’s most respected weaving traditions. It presents the restrained discipline and precision often associated with Tabriz carpets, here expressed in a refined, allover composition rather than a single medallion.

The warm tan field is covered with a tightly worked trellis of geometric diamonds and stylized floral forms, repeated in ordered horizontal bands. Navy blue and slate blue create the lattice and give the design its structure, while the age-softened surface lends the pattern a muted, almost atmospheric quality. The result is tailored and architectural, yet never rigid.

A pale beige border frames the field with small rosettes and angular ornaments, adding definition and balance. Subtle wear has mellowed the palette and deepened the patina, making this antique Tabriz especially appealing for interiors that call for visual order, quiet contrast, and a grounded sense of history.

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.
