Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1930 BB8244 10'3" × 13'0" $53,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug from the 1930s exemplifies the refined artistry and craftsmanship for which the Tabriz weaving tradition is celebrated. The rug showcases an elegant all-over botanical design set against a soft, time-aged rose field. Meandering floral vines and delicate palmettes unfurl with grace across the surface, executed in a harmonious palette of muted blues, ivory, pale gold, and deep crimson accents.

The spacious composition is framed by a wide border system: a primary border of stylized rosettes and floral cartouches rendered in cool blue and ivory tones, flanked by multiple guard bands that enhance the sense of balance and symmetry. The interplay of warm and cool hues creates a refined yet inviting atmosphere, characteristic of early 20th-century Tabriz weaving.

Hand-knotted in fine wool, the rug bears the hallmarks of exceptional Persian craftsmanship—precise drawing, balanced proportions, and an artistic restraint that favors elegance over excess. Its gentle wear and beautifully faded patina only heighten its authenticity and charm, making it not only a collector’s piece but also a versatile furnishing that brings history and sophistication into any interior.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
