Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Dusty Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7568 11'2" × 17'7" $70,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, reflects the refined city-weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Its balanced drawing and composed palette give it the poised character so often associated with late antique Tabriz carpets.

The design is an intricate allover floral lattice, organized around repeating medallion-like forms that seem to drift across a dusty blue field. Warm beige and ivory motifs soften the geometry, while darker navy outlines add definition and depth. A broad border in tan and beige, finished with smaller floral guards, frames the composition with quiet structure and preserves the rug’s graceful rhythm.

Elegant without feeling rigid, this Persian floral rug offers the clarity of formal design and the softness of age in equal measure. Its muted contrast, botanical ornament, and layered patina make it especially appealing for interiors that call for heritage texture, from classic rooms to more transitional spaces.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
