Tabriz Persian Antique Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB8596 10'5" × 16'10" $48,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1880, reflects the refined carpet tradition of northwestern Persia and the celebrated weaving culture of Tabriz. Hand-knotted in wool, it belongs to the great family of antique floral Persian rugs prized for their balance of structure and softness.

Its soft beige field is filled with an allover trellis of scrolling vines, palmettes, and floral crest motifs, arranged in a disciplined rhythm that feels formal yet relaxed. Repeating medallion-like forms lend the composition a sense of movement, while the time-softened surface keeps the pattern visually airy rather than heavy.

A darker brown border frames the design with scrolling arabesques and rosettes, giving the rug a clear architectural edge. Dusty rose, taupe, and pale sand tones create a muted palette that reads elegant and lived-in, making this antique Tabriz especially suited to interiors that value historic character, tonal warmth, and understated pattern.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
