Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Rug In Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool – Circa 1920 BB8731 10'7" × 16'9" $53,000

This exquisite 1920’s Persian Tabriz rug embodies the sophistication and artistry for which the city of Tabriz has been celebrated for centuries. Hand-knotted with remarkable precision, the rug features a deeply saturated midnight blue field, serving as the perfect backdrop for an intricate allover pattern of swirling arabesques and stylized florals. Palmettes, rosettes, and delicate blossoms are interlaced with scrolling vinery, rendered in a refined palette of soft ivory, muted rose, gentle celadon, and warm terracotta.

The design is framed by a striking main border in rich brick red, adorned with ornate palmette motifs and connected by elegant vine scrolls, flanked by finely detailed guard borders. This harmonious composition reflects the classical Persian approach to balance, symmetry, and rhythmic repetition.

Woven in the early 20th century, this Tabriz piece reflects both the technical mastery and the artistic ambition of its makers. Its luminous wool pile has aged gracefully, developing a patina that softens the colors while enhancing their depth. Measuring 17 by 11 feet, the rug’s grand proportions and dignified design make it an ideal focal point for a formal living room, library, or reception space.

This antique Tabriz is not only a testament to Persian weaving excellence but also a timeless work of art, blending elegance, history, and enduring craftsmanship.
