Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB7407 8'3" × 12'2" $53,000

An antique Persian Tabriz carpet, woven around 1900, this hand-knotted wool piece reflects the refined workshop tradition that made Tabriz one of Persia’s most admired weaving centers.

The composition is arranged within a scalloped mihrab-like arch, where a tall Tree of Life rises through a dense garden of blossoms, leafy tendrils, and finely drawn branches. A framed field of warm taupe and light beige creates a subdued ground for the darker brown drawing, while the layered borders echo the same botanical vocabulary in a more restrained rhythm. At the lower field, small animal figures and an urn-like vessel add narrative detail and a distinctly pictorial character.

Its sepia-toned palette lends the carpet an elegant softness, allowing the intricate surface to read as both decorative and contemplative. With its architectural silhouette, floral intricacy, and historic Persian imagery, this Tabriz antique rug brings depth and collected character to formal interiors, whether placed beneath antique furnishings or used to temper a more contemporary setting.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
