Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB6669 10'3" × 13'5" $65,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1880, reflects the refined floral tradition of northwestern Persia in a finely hand-knotted format. Its cream beige field creates a luminous ground for a mirrored allover composition, where scrolling vines, rosettes, palmettes, and crest-like floral forms unfold with measured symmetry.

Deep navy blue borders frame the composition with authority, while burnt orange and terracotta accents warm the surface and bring definition to the botanical detailing. The trellis-like structure keeps the ornament legible, so the dense field feels disciplined rather than crowded. Repeated blossoms and stylized leaves animate the design from edge to center, giving the rug a graceful sense of movement.

That balance of soft neutrals, blue contrast, and warm highlights makes this Tabriz especially adaptable in interiors that call for visual depth without heaviness. As an antique Persian carpet, it offers the crisp drawing and architectural border system for which Tabriz weaving is admired, lending presence to classic rooms and quiet sophistication to more modern spaces.
