Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB2896 10'8" × 21'0" $135,000

This early-20th-century Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted in wool around 1900, reflects the city’s celebrated weaving tradition. Its long, elegant format and softened palette give the piece the quiet authority of a formal antique carpet, equally suited to traditional interiors and more restrained contemporary rooms.

The field is washed in muted orange and pale sand, with an understated allover trellis that unfolds into floral medallions, slender vines, and palmette blossoms. Rather than a single dominant center, the composition moves across the surface in a measured botanical rhythm, allowing the age-softened drawing to create depth without heaviness.

A structured border of rosettes and small flowering motifs frames the design with gentle definition, while traces of sage and subdued green keep the warmth grounded. The result is a Tabriz Persian floral rug with a refined, low-contrast character—an antique piece that brings pattern, history, and visual calm to a room.
