Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7479 10'5" × 14'6" $65,000

A distinguished example of late 19th to early 20th-century Persian textile artistry, this antique Tabriz rug exemplifies the refinement and technical sophistication characteristic of the renowned Tabriz weaving tradition. Woven circa 1900, the carpet displays a stately allover design composed of palmettes, medallion cartouches, delicate vinery, and stylized rosettes arranged symmetrically across a serene, faded celadon-blue field.

The repeating elliptical medallions aligned along the central vertical axis provide structure to the otherwise fluid floral patterning, while ivory, midnight blue, camel, and subtle terracotta tones lend a palette both elegant and harmonious. Fine detailing throughout the spandrels and surrounding field reveals the weaver’s extraordinary precision and an intimate understanding of balance and proportion.

The composition is framed by a classic Persian border featuring a scrolling vine and floral motif on an ivory ground, encased by multiple narrow guard borders with reciprocal floral meanders. This architectural framing further enhances the stately appearance of the field.

Hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, the rug boasts a tightly woven construction typical of the finest Tabriz weavings, with a relatively short pile that highlights the crispness of its design. The gentle patina, nuanced abrash, and time-softened colors bear testimony to the rug’s age while enhancing its beauty and authenticity.
