Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7368 9'9" × 13'10" $48,000

Subtle sophistication meets timeless Persian craftsmanship in this exquisite antique Tabriz rug from the 1920s. Woven in one of Iran’s most prestigious weaving centers, this piece reflects the artistic refinement and technical mastery that made Tabriz rugs highly coveted throughout the world.

Rendered in a serene, softly muted palette of ivory, dove gray, and faded terracotta, the rug showcases a sprawling allover palmette and floral vine pattern. The design, now delicately faded with age, lends the piece a dreamy, ethereal quality—like an heirloom that whispers the passage of time. The motifs, while restrained in tone, remain clear and deliberate, testifying to the precision of the original weaver.

The composition is anchored by a subtle central axis, where elegant floral elements and symmetrical vines gently radiate outward. The field is framed by understated borders bearing traces of classical Persian ornamentation, completing the rug’s harmonious visual rhythm.

Hand-knotted in fine wool, the rug maintains a graceful patina and low pile, providing both authenticity and a lived-in elegance ideal for interiors seeking a refined, antique sensibility. Whether used as a sophisticated foundation in a formal living space or as a quiet statement in a contemporary setting, this Persian Tabriz rug effortlessly bridges history and style.
