Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7204 10'8" × 18'2" $53,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1880, reflects the refined courtly weaving tradition of northwestern Persia in a fine hand-knotted wool pile. Its composition balances formal symmetry with richly layered botanical detail, giving the piece the authority of a classic Tabriz floral carpet.

A deep crimson field is filled with scrolling vine work, rosettes, palmettes, and stylized blossoms that unfold in mirrored vertical rhythm from top to bottom. Creamy ivory and warm beige motifs stand out against the red ground, while the central axis is marked by crest-like ornaments that lend the design a measured, almost architectural balance.

Encircling the field, a softly faded border in warm taupe, pale blue, and muted blush tones tempers the intensity of the center and adds a time-softened frame. The worn patina enriches the rug’s character without diminishing its decorative strength, making it a compelling choice for a formal living room, dining room, or any interior that calls for an antique Persian rug with presence and restraint.

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.
