Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Oversized Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7716 14'2" × 28'0" $200,000

This oversized antique Tabriz Persian rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the city’s celebrated hand-knotted floral tradition. Its warm tan ground is densely composed in an allover botanical layout, giving the carpet the formal balance and architectural poise associated with fine Persian court weaving.

Across the deep navy field, scrolling vines spread palmettes, rosettes, and stylized blossoms in a continuous repeat. The drawing is intricate yet controlled, with each motif outlined clearly in soft ivory, camel, muted blue, and touches of ochre so the surface feels animated without losing its sense of order or clarity at scale.

A terracotta-toned border frames the composition with floral meanders and crest-like ornaments, finishing the design with a clear, room-defining edge. The palette of warm tan and midnight blue is softened by age, creating a nuanced finish that collectors and designers value. Rich in contrast and detail, this antique Persian Tabriz rug brings depth, heritage, and an elegant formal presence to traditional libraries, dining rooms, or layered contemporary interiors.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance.
