Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB4639 12'0" × 12'8" $85,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, reflects the city’s celebrated tradition of finely detailed floral weaving. Its square format and formal layout give the piece a composed, architectural presence, while age has softened the palette into warm, timeworn tones and preserved the clear outline of its antique ornament.

A dense terracotta-rust field is filled with scrolling vinery, palmettes, blossoms, and small rosettes that create an almost trellised rhythm across the surface. At the center, a subtle medallion emerges from the botanical weave rather than interrupting it, allowing the design to read as both ordered and fluid. Ivory, dusty blue, sage, and brown accents provide depth without breaking the rug’s mellow balance.

The light beige border frames the composition with understated refinement, echoing the floral vocabulary in a softer register and giving the interior pattern room to breathe. Collectors and designers value Tabriz carpets for this blend of precision and lyricism: they bring history, structure, and warmth to traditional rooms and transitional spaces alike.

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.
