Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7285 12'10" × 20'0" $130,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, circa 1900, is a hand-knotted wool carpet from the celebrated weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Its antique character is grounded in a warm tan ground that has mellowed into a soft, inviting surface, giving the piece the understated elegance collectors often seek in a classic Tabriz.

The design is an orderly allover floral composition, with mirrored vertical balance, vine-scroll ornament, rosettes, and botanical cartouches arranged within a carefully layered border. Dusty rose, light beige, sage green, and soft gray lend depth to the warm field, while the floral repeat creates a composed rhythm that feels formal without becoming rigid. The effect recalls Arts and Crafts and Victorian sensibilities, with nature translated into structure and symmetry.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug offers both refinement and durability, making it well suited to interiors that call for pattern with restraint. Its softly aged palette and intricate drawing allow it to anchor traditional rooms and bring texture to transitional spaces, where decorative detail and a timeworn patina are especially valued.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
