Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover In Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7512 11'0" × 16'8" $95,000

A masterclass in Persian textile artistry, this antique Tabriz carpet from circa 1900 epitomizes the refined grandeur for which the city of Tabriz is renowned. Woven with meticulous precision, the field is filled with an allover lattice pattern, each compartment containing elegant floral rosettes, stylized palmettes, and vinery motifs that pay homage to classical Safavid aesthetics.

The palette—an understated arrangement of earthy beige, soft ivory, muted terracotta, faded sapphire, and delicate sky blue—offers a harmonious counterbalance to the structured geometry of the design. Its deliberate patina, softened over more than a century, lends the rug a dreamy, atmospheric presence.

Enclosing the central field is a striking border composed of alternating cartouche and rosette motifs rendered on a slate-blue ground, framed by narrow guard bands in rust and ivory. This border not only provides architectural contrast but anchors the intricacy of the interior.

Hand-knotted in wool with a high knot density, the rug exhibits the hallmark clarity and elegance of Tabriz weaving, one of the oldest and most celebrated carpet traditions in Persia. At 17 feet in length, this piece is especially generous in scale, making it ideal for a formal living room, dining hall, or gallery-style interior.
