Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1870 BB6898 6'2" × 7'10" $48,000

This antique Persian Tabriz carpet, woven circa 1870, reflects the refined court weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it pairs disciplined drawing with a soft, time-worn surface that gives the piece a quiet sense of age and authority.

The composition is built on a light beige ground and a formal, centered crest, yet it feels more open than a traditional medallion rug. Rust-colored vinework branches across the field in mirrored arcs, while dark navy anchors the design at the center and along the border. Small floral accents in pale blue, celadon, and ivory lend the pattern a measured brightness without disturbing its restraint.

Around this airy field, the broad border carries a deeper indigo presence, filled with scrolling blossoms and leafy forms that frame the rug with architectural weight. The result is a Persian antique rug with clarity, elegance, and enough negative space to settle comfortably beneath furniture, especially in formal living rooms, libraries, and layered contemporary 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. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
