Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB3182 10'6" × 14'8" $75,000

Antique Persian Tabriz rug, circa 1920, hand-knotted in wool, this piece reflects the disciplined elegance of one of northwest Persia’s most admired weaving traditions. Its pale sand ground has mellowed beautifully with age, giving the composition a quiet luminosity rather than a hard-edged contrast.

The design is an allover floral field arranged with measured symmetry, where slender vines, stylized blossoms, and trellis-like links unfold around a subtle central medallion. Fine outlines in dusty blue, light gray, and soft teal keep the pattern legible while remaining subdued, allowing the botanical imagery to read as atmospheric and refined. A broad border, worked with scrolling arabesques and floral forms, frames the interior with a formal sense of order.

With its low-contrast palette and time-softened patina, this antique Tabriz Persian rug offers quiet structure for interiors that favor depth over decoration. It anchors a room with grace, bringing the lineage of a classic hand-knotted Persian carpet into both traditional and contemporary settings.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
