Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1890 BB7273 11'5" × 14'6" $80,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, circa 1890, is a hand-knotted wool carpet from one of northwest Persia’s most celebrated weaving centers. Its formal allover layout shows the disciplined workmanship for which Tabriz is known, balancing ornament and structure with remarkable restraint.

The taupe-gray field is organized by a repeating trellis of lobed cartouche-like compartments, each filled with delicate floral vines, rosettes, and small botanical details. Dark brown and charcoal outlines give the design clarity, while the softened cream beige ground tempers the pattern and lends the rug its timeworn, understated character.

A series of ornate borders frames the composition, including scrolling floral bands and palmette motifs that echo the field without overpowering it. Elegant and versatile, this antique Tabriz Persian rug brings quiet formality to traditional, transitional, or contemporary interiors, offering the layered detail and historic presence collectors value in a classic floral antique rug.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
