Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB3359 10'3" × 12'10" $53,000

Woven in Persia circa 1880, this antique Tabriz rug is a hand-knotted wool example of the city’s distinguished weaving tradition. Tabriz carpets are prized for their precision and balance, and this room-size piece shows that refinement in a softly articulated allover composition.

The soft beige field is layered with scrolling vines, palmettes, rosettes, and small blossoms that drift around a faint central medallion rather than a heavy focal motif. Its drawing remains elegant and controlled, while the aged surface lends the pattern a gentle, low-contrast character. A structured floral border in warm taupe-brown frames the composition and is lifted by dusty blue, olive, and faded rose accents.

The result is a Persian floral rug with a formal presence that still feels relaxed and versatile. Its muted palette and disciplined layout allow it to anchor a classic interior, soften a more contemporary setting, or bring historic texture to a dining room or seating area without overpowering the room.

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.
