Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Dusty Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1910 BB8292 13'0" × 17'2" $85,000

This antique circa 1910 Persian Tabriz carpet is hand-knotted in wool, an elegant product of the city’s refined weaving tradition. Its large-format presence and early 20th-century date place it among the more sophisticated antique Persian rugs, prized for balanced design and enduring workmanship.

The dusty tan field is filled with an allover floral and foliate composition built around a softened medallion-like center. Palmettes, rosettes, and scrolling vines overlap in low relief, while pale blue and warm taupe accents keep the drawing airy and subdued. Rather than appearing crisp or graphic, the ornament reads with a washed, time-softened patina that adds depth and a watercolor-like gentleness.

A restrained border completes the composition with related botanical motifs and quiet architectural framing. The result is a Persian Tabriz carpet that feels formal yet understated, well suited to traditional interiors, transitional rooms, and contemporary spaces that benefit from a layered antique textile. It brings warmth without heaviness, and detail without visual noise.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets.
