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

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1880, reflects the refined workshop tradition of northwestern Persia and the courtly sophistication for which Tabriz carpets are known. Its warm taupe ground is densely layered with an allover floral design that reads almost like a garden seen through a soft veil of age. Pale beige, muted teal, powder blue, and brown accents keep the composition lively without breaking its calm, timeworn balance.

The field is packed with scrolling vines, rosettes, palmettes, and serrated foliage, arranged with formal symmetry yet never feeling rigid. Larger blossoms emerge from the lattice of smaller ornament, giving the rug a richly woven depth. A pale border frames the composition with repeating floral medallions and vine work, reinforcing the rug’s elegant hierarchy.

Hand-knotted in wool, this Tabriz offers the visual complexity collectors seek in antique Persian rugs while remaining adaptable in a contemporary interior. Its softened contrast, botanical rhythm, and mellow patina make it especially effective beneath furniture groupings or in rooms that benefit from historical character and quiet color. The result is a composed, enduring piece that anchors the room with warmth and subtle formality without feeling heavy.
