Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7519 10'7" × 13'9" $43,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1900, belongs to the celebrated Tabriz weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it reflects the city’s long reputation for refined drawing and elegant decorative carpets.

The design unfolds as a disciplined allover floral field, with scrolling vinework, trellis-like spacing, and delicate blossoms repeated across a deep indigo-blue ground. Ivory, pale pink, and light blue accents soften the composition, giving the botanical motifs a painterly quality rather than a sharply graphic one. A subdued ivory border frames the center with quieter floral ornament, allowing the richly patterned field to remain the visual focus.

Its balance of formal structure and relaxed patina makes it especially versatile for interiors that call for color and pattern without heaviness. The softened contrasts, nuanced blues, and time-worn wool create the kind of antique Persian rug that reads as both collected and lived-with, bringing depth to traditional rooms, layered contemporary spaces, and designer schemes alike.

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. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
