Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1930 BB8120 6'10" × 9'9" $30,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1930, reflects the celebrated carpet-making tradition of Tabriz in northwestern Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it belongs to the city’s long line of finely drawn room-size carpets prized for their balance and precision.

A saturated teal field supports a mirrored allover floral composition, where palmettes, blossoms, foliate sprays, and scrolling vines unfold around a restrained central crest. The drawing feels architectural rather than busy, with each motif carefully spaced so the pattern breathes while still giving the rug a formal, collected presence. A wide cream-beige border frames the composition with small rosettes and trailing botanical forms, reinforcing the classical hierarchy of field and frame.

Soft pink, dusty rose, pale blue, gold, and beige accents temper the cooler ground, lending the rug a mellow, time-softened character. Its refined symmetry and floral rhythm make it especially effective beneath traditional furniture, in transitional interiors, or anywhere a Persian antique rug is needed to add structure without visual heaviness.

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.
