Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB6610 9'3" × 12'10" $41,000

This late 19th-century Persian Tabriz rug embodies the sophistication and artistry that established Tabriz as one of Persia’s most celebrated weaving centers. Woven circa 1880, the carpet reveals a refined balance of classic Persian floral motifs and architectural precision, hallmarks of master Tabriz workshops.

The field presents an all-over lattice of stylized palmettes, rosettes, and serrated leaves, arranged in rhythmic symmetry across a deep indigo ground. Subtle accents of powder blue, ivory, and warm camel punctuate the composition, lending depth and elegance while softening the darker foundation.

The main border, executed in a muted parchment tone, frames the rug with grandeur. Large floral medallions alternate with scrolling vinery and palmettes, echoing the motifs of the field while providing a luminous contrast. Guard stripes filled with delicate blossoms further articulate the frame, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that Tabriz weavers are known for.

The rug’s palette, now gently mellowed by time, demonstrates the mastery of natural dyes, with a refined interplay of earthy browns, soft blues, and aged ivory tones. Subtle abrash enhances the visual texture, testifying to its handwoven authenticity.

This piece is not only decorative but also highly collectible. With its fine weave, harmonious design, and distinguished patina, this 1880s Tabriz is a superb example of Persian artistry—equally suited to elevate a traditional setting or bring historical depth to a modern interior.
