Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7668 9'1" × 12'0" $38,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1920 in the classical northwest Persian tradition, presents a hand-knotted wool composition with a Kashan-inflected floral vocabulary. A warm tan field sets a calm ground for the design, while the restrained palette of teal blue, soft beige, and brown gives the piece a mellow, collected presence.

Rather than a single dominant medallion, the composition reads as an allover trellis of scrolling vines, palmettes, and rosettes that ripple across the field with measured symmetry. Small floral sprays and arabesques are worked with fine clarity, and the design is framed by a broad, richly patterned border that brings structure and architectural balance to the softer interior.

The dark teal border and muted decorative accents create depth against the time-worn tan ground, allowing the antique patina to enhance rather than obscure the drawing. Elegant and versatile, this antique Tabriz rug works beautifully beneath traditional furnishings or in transitional rooms where a formal Persian floral rug can add warmth, texture, and history.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
