Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB7666 14'3" × 20'7" $130,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1920, reflects the refined hand-knotted wool tradition of northwestern Iran. Its composition favors precision and balance over grand gesture, offering the kind of disciplined workmanship associated with classic Tabriz carpets.

Rather than centering on a single medallion, the soft beige field opens into a dense allover trellis of floral and geometric motifs. Small blossoms, scrolling vines, and lattice-like compartments repeat across the surface in quiet symmetry, while the aged drawing lends the pattern a softened, understated grace.

A deep navy border frames the design with greater contrast, its larger floral sprays giving the rug a clear architectural edge. Dusty blue, gray, and muted gold accents enrich the palette without disturbing its calm tone, making this antique Tabriz carpet especially effective in formal living rooms, libraries, and dining spaces where a grounded, timeworn elegance is desired.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
