Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Rug In Warm Tan – Hand-Knotted Wool – Circa 1920 BB5741 7'0" × 9'10" $43,000

This circa 1920 Persian Tabriz rug is a refined example of the city’s celebrated floral weaving tradition, rendered in hand-knotted wool. Its composition is disciplined and elegant, with a warm tan ground that immediately softens the overall effect.

Rather than relying on a heavy central medallion, the design unfolds in a measured allover rhythm of scrolling vines, palmettes, stylized blossoms, and foliate sprays. Delicate outlines in cocoa and espresso lend definition to the open field, while the restrained drawing preserves clarity and keeps the pattern airy at room distance. The result is formal, but never severe, with a calm botanical symmetry that feels balanced and composed.

Layered borders frame the field with small floral repeats and crest-like accents, reinforcing the rug’s collected presence. Its earthy palette of warm tan, light beige, taupe, and dark brown gives it broad interior range, allowing it to anchor traditional rooms or introduce quiet structure into more modern settings.

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.
