Tabriz Persian Antique Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7404 10'5" × 15'0" $43,000

This early 20th-century Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the city’s celebrated hand-knotted tradition with a formally arranged floral design. Its room-size format and disciplined layout speak to the elegant court-rug aesthetic for which Tabriz carpets are known.

The field is anchored by a deep navy ground, over which a dense botanical repeat unfolds in soft beige, dusty rose, sage, and light blue. Small rosettes, palmettes, and vine tendrils form a trellis-like web, while a restrained central medallion gives the composition a clear focal pulse without interrupting the overall rhythm. The result is richly detailed, yet composed.

A warm tan border frames the darker interior with cartouche-like motifs in red, blue, and ivory, creating a crisp outer edge and reinforcing the rug’s formal presence. Woven in wool, it combines decorative complexity with a durable, collector-worthy feel. The balanced palette and intricate floral structure make this antique Persian Tabriz especially well suited to classic interiors, layered living rooms, and dining spaces that call for depth and pattern.

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.
