Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7408 8'6" × 12'4" $70,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Its room-size format and formal layout make it an elegant foundation for a dining room, library, or living space.

The composition centers on an understated medallion-and-crest scheme, yet the overall effect is distinctly allover: dense floral lattices, palmettes, and foliate scrolls repeat across a soft beige ground with a deeper taupe-brown field at the core. A clear border hierarchy gives the design architectural definition, while the worn drawing and low contrast lend the pattern a graceful, time-softened character. Delicate notes of ivory and dusty blue temper the palette.

That balance of ornament and restraint is what makes antique Tabriz rugs so enduring: they offer Persian floral detail without visual heaviness. This piece brings quiet pattern, gentle patina, and a collected presence that can anchor traditional interiors or introduce historic texture to more contemporary rooms.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
