Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Golden Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7155 6'7" × 9'3" $14,000

This circa 1920 Persian Tabriz rug is a hand-knotted wool example of the region’s refined weaving tradition, distinguished by an allover floral composition rather than a central medallion. Made in one of Persia’s most respected carpet centers, it reflects the disciplined craftsmanship and balanced ornament that define classic Tabriz work.

A deep burgundy field is layered with repeating boteh, scrolling vines, and small floral sprays that create a dense, uninterrupted rhythm across the surface. The pattern reads as elegant paisley and foliate movement, with each motif interlocking to form a richly textured, fully resolved design. A classic multi-border frame, populated with blossoms and small decorative accents, gives the composition structure and a formal finish.

The palette brings depth without heaviness: sage green, teal, ivory, soft rose, and touches of golden tan temper the red ground and keep the pattern lively. The result is a Persian floral rug with warmth, precision, and considerable versatility, well suited to traditional, transitional, or collected interiors.
