Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB6604 11'6" × 16'2" $65,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven in the early 20th century, exemplifies the artistry and refinement that made Tabriz one of the most important weaving centers in Persia. It boasts both architectural scale and intricate detailing.

The field is adorned with a delicate all-over pattern of palmettes, rosettes, and floral sprays, arranged in elegant symmetry across a warm ivory ground. The design is finely drawn, with slender vine scrolls linking stylized blossoms and medallions, creating a sense of harmony and rhythm that is characteristic of master Tabriz workshops.

A series of layered borders frames the composition. The wide main border features bold floral motifs on a golden-tan ground, enriched by subtle accents of slate blue and soft green. Narrow guard stripes, decorated with scrolling vinery and rosettes, provide refinement and balance.

The rug’s palette of muted gold, parchment ivory, and indigo blue has gently softened with time, giving the piece a warm patina that enhances its decorative appeal. The abrash and subtle variations in tone further attest to its handwoven authenticity and the natural dyes used by its weavers.

Elegant yet versatile, this 1900s Tabriz rug bridges traditional Persian artistry with timeless sophistication. Its fine weave, grand proportions, and harmonious design make it equally suited to a classic setting or a modern interior seeking a touch of historic character.
