Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Light Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8571 12'3" Ã— 19'0" $105,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1900, is a hand-knotted wool carpet from one of Persia’s most esteemed weaving centers. It reflects the city’s polished workshop tradition, where balanced ornament and supple drawing were paired with a refined sense of color and scale.

The field unfolds as an allover floral arrangement rather than a fixed medallion, with scrolling vines linking rosettes, blossoms, and foliate forms across a softly worn light blue ground. Warm tan passages, faded rose, and terracotta accents are worked through the surface, creating a painterly effect that feels layered, relaxed, and gently time-softened.

A narrow series of borders frames the composition with small floral and geometric details in brick red, blue, and cream, giving the rug structure without interrupting its rhythm. The result is a Persian Tabriz rug with the elegance of an antique floral carpet and the versatility of a quietly atmospheric ground for both formal and collected interiors.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance.
