Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Dusty Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB7998 12'7" × 19'1" $75,000

Woven in Persia circa 1920, this antique Tabriz carpet reflects the city’s distinguished weaving tradition in a finely balanced, hand-knotted wool composition. Its antique patina has softened the overall effect, giving the rug a composed, lived-in elegance suited to collected interiors.

The field is filled with a tightly worked allover floral lattice, where scrolling vines, blossoms, and foliate tracery create a subtle medallion-like rhythm rather than a single central focal point. Dusty blue and dark navy define the pattern with clarity, while warm taupe, light beige, and hints of soft peach lend depth and warmth to the design. A formal border of rosettes and arabesques neatly frames the composition.

Measured in its contrast and rich in detail, this antique Persian Tabriz rug offers the refinement of a court-inspired carpet without overwhelming a room. It is particularly effective as a room-anchoring foundation for traditional settings, layered transitional interiors, or spaces that benefit from a classic floral Persian rug with enduring visual texture.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
