Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7524 10'5" × 13'10" $65,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1880, belongs to the celebrated northwestern Persian tradition of finely drawn city carpets. Hand-knotted in wool, it presents the disciplined elegance that has long distinguished Tabriz weaving, with a formal allover layout that feels both structured and fluid.

The soft beige field is densely worked with small-scale blossoms, rosettes, leafy sprays, and delicate vines, creating a botanical repeat that reads almost like a trellis. Blue provides the coolest accents, while brown and gold lend warmth and depth, allowing the pattern to remain legible without becoming heavy. The design moves in measured rows, giving the surface a quiet rhythm.

A broad floral border frames the composition with greater saturation and a stronger architectural presence, drawing the eye inward and reinforcing the rug’s balanced format. Its age-softened palette and layered ornament make it especially suited to rooms that call for texture, history, and a refined antique Persian presence.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
