Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Light Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7773 11'0" × 14'9" $85,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1920, comes from one of Persia’s most celebrated weaving centers. It reflects the disciplined elegance for which Tabriz carpets are prized, combining fine drawing with a balanced allover layout that feels both formal and quietly livable.

A cream ground is densely animated by light blue floral ornament, with pale pink accents lending the pattern a gentle warmth. The repeating trellis organizes scrolling vines, stylized blossoms, and small medallion-like centers into a rhythmic surface that reads as tailored rather than busy. Its low-contrast palette softens the intricacy and gives the rug a measured, atmospheric presence.

A traditional border frames the composition with related floral motifs and slender guard bands, reinforcing the rug’s architectural clarity. The result is a Persian Tabriz floral rug with enough detail to reward close study and enough restraint to sit comfortably beneath classic or contemporary furnishings, especially in rooms that call for color, pattern, and a composed decorative foundation.

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.
