Antique Tabriz Persian Medallion Floral Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7319 12'9" × 19'10" $105,000

Antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1880 in the classic northwestern Persian tradition, hand-knotted in wool with a formal medallion-and-floral composition. Its muted beige field is arranged with remarkable precision, creating a calm ground for the richly worked ornament that defines fine Tabriz weaving.

A dark navy crest anchors the center, then repeats in mirrored cartouche-like forms that unfold across the field in scrolling vines, stylized blossoms, and foliate sprays. The drawing is disciplined yet lyrical, with crisp outlines and layered motifs that give the carpet a composed, architectural presence.

Dusty blue, sage, camel, soft blush, and brick red soften the pattern, while the border system adds rhythm through rosettes, palmettes, and meandering vine work. The result is a Persian antique rug with formal elegance and botanical richness, well suited to traditional rooms, transitional interiors, or any setting that calls for a collected antique anchor.
