Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1880 BB7527 10'4" × 14'5" $60,000

Woven in Persia’s Tabriz tradition circa 1880, this antique hand-knotted wool carpet presents the disciplined elegance for which the city’s workshops are known. Its taupe-gray field is organized by a finely scaled allover pattern, giving the rug a formal presence that remains calm and approachable.

The composition blends trellis geometry with botanical flourish: scrolling vines, rosettes, palmettes, and crest-like forms interlock across the field in a quietly layered rhythm. Rather than a single medallion, the design suggests a restrained central axis that is echoed throughout, creating balance without rigidity.

Multiple narrow borders frame the interior with understated precision, while the muted brown, charcoal, olive, and pale sand tones deepen the antique patina. Softly worn in the best sense, this Persian Tabriz offers a refined foundation for interiors that value pattern, texture, and historical character over bright contrast.

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.
