Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8605 9'0" × 12'0" $65,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, circa 1900, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northwest Persia in a hand-knotted wool composition. Its light beige field is organized by a softened trellis of vines and blossoms, with botanical motifs and subtle medallion-like accents repeating across the surface in a balanced, courtly rhythm.

The drawing is especially effective at a distance: the lattice structure keeps the composition orderly, while the floral ornament remains airy and graceful. A multiple-border system frames the field, led by a wider main border with repeating rosettes, geometric floral panels, and slender guard bands that echo the rug’s decorative cadence. The result is formal without feeling rigid.

Rendered in warm brown, dark brown, taupe, and cream tones, the palette gives this Tabriz carpet a quiet antique softness. Its gently worn patina enriches the design and allows the pattern to settle naturally into traditional, transitional, or layered contemporary interiors, where it can anchor a room with understated Persian character.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
