Persian Tabriz Rug BB8839 14'1" × 19'1" $120,000

This exquisite antique Persian Tabriz rug (circa 1920) exudes faded elegance through a whisper-soft, watercolor-washed palette of powdery celadon blue, pale aqua, and beige tones. Its expansive field is suffused with these delicate hues, subtly variegated by ivory-cream abrash, and features a pair of large lozenge-shaped medallions that seem to float at the center. Each medallion is a symmetrical bloom of scrolling palmettes, lotus blossoms, and curling arabesques rendered in soft blush, muted gold, and dove-gray. An intricate network of graceful vine-leaf tendrils and tiny rosettes drifts across the field in the same gentle tones, creating an ethereal, low-contrast tapestry of floral motifs. A broad border in complementary sea-foam blue and cream carries larger lotus-head motifs and serrated leaves, enclosed by slim guard bands of floral meanders that elegantly frame the composition. Hand-knotted in fine wool, the rug’s low, even pile and slight wear lend it a soft, worn patina that testifies to its age and artisanal origin. The overall effect is one of quiet, old-world charm and luminous serenity, ideal for imparting classical Persian sophistication to an elegant, serene interior.
