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

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northwest Persia in a formal allover format. Its warm tan ground gives the piece an understated luminosity, allowing the pattern to read with unusual clarity and restraint.

The field is organized as a disciplined floral trellis, with repeating compartments that balance geometry and botanic detail. Stylized blossoms, palmettes, and delicate vinery unfold across the surface in soft brown, muted rust red, and light blue, creating a rhythmic composition without a central medallion. Age has mellowed the drawing, lending the design a beautifully softened, low-contrast character that feels elegant rather than ornate.

A dark border frames the interior with authority, carrying flowering motifs that echo the field while adding depth and definition. This antique Tabriz carpet offers the architectural order collectors value in classic Persian rugs, yet its gently faded palette keeps it versatile for layered, sophisticated interiors. As a hand-knotted wool antique rug, it brings both historic presence and quiet decorative warmth.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
