Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB8527 11'0" × 17'6" $85,000

This antique Persian Tabriz carpet, woven circa 1920 in Iran, reflects the refined hand-knotted wool tradition for which Tabriz is celebrated. Its balanced format and formal drawing give it the presence of a classic room anchor while preserving the warmth and softness associated with an age-worn antique.

The field is rendered in a luminous coral tone and filled with an allover floral composition of rosettes, palmettes, vinery, and smaller trellis-like details. A restrained central medallion emerges within the dense ornament, while ivory, light blue, slate blue, and navy accents temper the warmth and keep the pattern beautifully legible without becoming rigid.

A deep navy border frames the interior with scrolling blossoms and finely spaced floral meanders, adding definition to the painterly field. The softened contrast and time-earned patina enhance the rug’s layered character, making it especially effective in formal interiors, transitional settings, or any space that benefits from an antique floral rug with depth and quiet sophistication.

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.
