Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB8774 15'10" × 20'9" $130,000

An antique Persian Tabriz rug from circa 1880, this oversized hand-knotted wool carpet reflects the refined workshop traditions of northwestern Persia. Its sand-beige field offers a calm ground for the vivid floral drawing, while the broad blue border frames the composition with architectural clarity.

Rather than a single medallion, the rug unfolds in an allover botanical lattice of palmettes, rosettes, stylized blossoms, and curling vines. The design feels rhythmic and balanced, with navy, sky blue, rust red, and soft camel tones repeating across the field to create movement without visual noise.

The substantial border in clear blue and terracotta accents adds depth and definition, while the softened antique palette lends the piece a collectible character. Elegant yet versatile, this floral Tabriz Persian rug brings formal structure and botanical warmth to grand living rooms, dining spaces, and interiors that favor traditional craftsmanship with a quietly tailored sensibility.

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.
