Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB5529 12'1" × 18'3" $65,000

This early 20th-century Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the city’s celebrated workshop tradition in an elegant allover format. Hand-knotted in wool, it balances formal structure with a relaxed, time-softened patina that feels distinctly collected.

A deep midnight-blue field carries a dense trellis of flowering vines, palmettes, and scrolling leaves, with a restrained central crest emerging softly from the composition rather than overpowering it. The warm tan ground of the border frames the field with a clear hierarchy, while the floral meanders and guard bands maintain the rug’s classical Persian order.

Muted rose, dusty gold, ivory, and quiet hints of sage lend depth to the design without breaking its low-contrast harmony. The result is a Tabriz antique rug that anchors formal living rooms, libraries, and transitional interiors with ease, bringing botanical richness and visual calm to a room.

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.
