Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1880 BB4172 4'4" × 6'5" $8,000

Antique Persian Tabriz carpet, circa 1880, hand-knotted in wool in the celebrated weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Its format is formally composed and thoroughly refined, with the architectural discipline so often associated with fine Tabriz work from the late 19th century.

The design centers on an allover repeat of boteh-like forms arranged in measured rows, giving the field a steady rhythm rather than a single dominant medallion. Fine vinery threads through the motifs, while the narrow framing bands and border maintain a clear hierarchy that keeps the composition balanced and legible. The result is a floral carpet with quiet movement and an elegantly ordered surface.

A soft beige ground sets the tone, warmed by subtle honey notes and outlined in slate blue, charcoal, and muted rust. This restrained palette softens the drawing and lends the rug a timeworn glow without diminishing its detail. Well suited to traditionally furnished rooms or layered contemporary interiors, this antique Tabriz brings patina, pattern, and historic presence in equal measure.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
