Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB2825 10'10" × 14'0" $90,000

This late-19th-century Persian Tabriz rug, circa 1880, reflects the city’s celebrated weaving tradition in a softly aged hand-knotted wool composition. Its restrained palette and formal allover layout give it the calm, enduring presence associated with fine antique Tabriz carpets.

A sand-beige field provides a quiet ground for a delicate repeat of small floral sprays, vine tendrils, and scattered foliate details in warm tan, soft brown, and powder blue. The pattern is finely dispersed rather than densely packed, allowing the design to breathe and lending the rug an understated rhythm. A broader midnight-blue border, worked with scrolling botanical ornament, frames the composition with crisp contrast and classical balance.

The result is a refined antique Persian floral rug with the composure to anchor both traditional and transitional interiors. Its low-key coloration, time-softened texture, and disciplined drawing speak to Tabriz workmanship at its most elegant, where decorative detail is presented with clarity rather than excess.

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.
