Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB2862 10'10" × 15'0" $48,000

This late 19th-century Persian Tabriz rug, circa 1880, is hand-knotted in wool and reflects the refined weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Its room-size format and formal allover layout make it an elegant anchor for interiors that value antique character and composed, enduring design.

The field is rendered in warm tan and light beige, softened by age into muted taupe, brown, and blue-gray notes. Across the surface, a disciplined lattice of scrolling vinery, palmettes, and floral medallions repeats with remarkable balance, giving the composition a trellis-like rhythm that feels both architectural and botanical.

A cream-toned border frames the rug with smaller floral motifs and a quieter cadence, providing contrast without disrupting the dense center. Gentle wear has softened the drawing and deepened the patina, enhancing its versatility in traditional, transitional, or layered contemporary settings.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
