Tabriz Persian Antique Medallion Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB2851 11'3" × 16'2" $53,000

This circa 1920 Persian Tabriz rug is a hand-knotted wool medallion carpet from northwestern Iran, woven in the celebrated Tabriz tradition. Its soft beige ground is animated by an exceptionally fine floral lattice, giving the surface a gentle, textile-like shimmer rather than a sharp graphic contrast.

At the center, a deep blue scalloped medallion blooms over an ochre reserve, surrounded by curling foliate tendrils and small floral accents that echo the field. The composition feels disciplined yet softened by age, with the medallion, pendants, and corner elements all dissolving into the mellow palette of ivory, dusty blue, and muted tan.

A narrow scrolling border in caramel, ivory, and blue frames the rug with palmettes and vinework, reinforcing the formal architecture without overpowering the field. Elegant and versatile, it brings antique Persian character, decorative warmth, and a subdued botanical rhythm to traditional, transitional, or layered contemporary interiors.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
