Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Golden Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB3824 11'0" × 14'4" $65,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven around 1900, reflects the refined workshop tradition for which Tabriz became one of Persia’s most admired weaving centers.

Its golden tan field is worked in a dense allover floral arrangement, with mirrored foliate scrolls, palmette-like blossoms, and small medallion-crest forms settling into a measured, formal cadence. Dusty blue outlining, cream detailing, and faint rose notes soften the pattern, giving the carpet a luminous, time-worn quality rather than a heavy ornament.

A slim inner frame and a broader floral border contain the design without interrupting its movement, a classic Tabriz device that keeps the composition open and elegant. Hand-knotted in wool, this room-size Persian rug offers the subtle patina and graceful restraint well suited to a library, dining room, or layered living space. Its softened surface makes the motifs read like an aged tapestry, bringing warmth and history to traditional, transitional, or contemporary interiors.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets.
