Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Teal Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7306 12'0" × 17'2" $130,000

Woven in Persia around 1900, this antique Tabriz hand-knotted wool rug reflects the city’s renowned workshop tradition in a formal allover carpet design rather than a central medallion, a format prized for its steady rhythm and room-filling elegance.

The deep teal field carries a disciplined lattice of flowering vines, palmettes, and trellis-linked blossoms, creating a rich botanical surface with clear architectural balance. Ivory, warm beige, soft taupe, and restrained rust accents brighten the pattern, while the repeated floral forms lend the rug a layered, almost tapestry-like depth at room distance without overwhelming surrounding furnishings.

A broad ivory-and-sand border, worked with scrolling florals and leafy cartouches, gives the composition crisp definition and frames the field with authority. Elegant yet grounded, this Persian floral rug suits formal seating areas, dining rooms, and layered interiors that benefit from color depth, pattern, and historic presence. Its measured symmetry keeps the design versatile, even as the hand-knotted wool adds warmth and texture for interiors that call for a refined antique Persian anchor.
