Luxurious Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB8588 11'0" × 16'6" $85,000

Antique Persian Tabriz carpet, circa 1880, woven in Persia’s celebrated Tabriz tradition, presents a formal allover composition prized for its balance and clarity.

A soft beige field is covered with a repeating lattice of rosettes, linked by fine vinery and rounded floral compartments that create constant movement without a single dominant center. The drawing is delicate and rhythmic, while the gently aged surface softens the contrast and gives the pattern an easy, worn elegance. A dark navy border frames the design with scrolling blossoms and leafy arabesques, and smaller guard stripes add a measured finish. Muted tones of ivory, rust, slate gray, and restrained blue deepen the palette without disturbing its calm character.

The result is a refined 19th-century Tabriz rug that feels both structured and airy, reflecting the technical precision of Persian workshop weaving. Its low-contrast floral trellis makes it especially adaptable in larger interiors, where it can anchor traditional rooms or bring historic depth to more contemporary settings.
