Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Medallion Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB0507 11'7" × 18'1" $95,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug from the early 1900s beautifully reflects the city’s reputation as one of the most important weaving centers in Iran. The design is anchored by an elegant allover botanical pattern, featuring stylized floral sprays, blooming palmettes, and lush vases overflowing with blossoms. Subtle yet intricate, the motifs display the remarkable artistry and precision for which Tabriz rugs are celebrated.

The color palette is warm and refined, dominated by earthy tones of soft beige, muted terracotta, and gentle browns, complemented by delicate rose and ivory accents. These subdued hues lend the rug an understated sophistication, making it especially versatile for both classic and contemporary interiors.

Woven with fine wool on a cotton foundation, this piece demonstrates the high knot density and craftsmanship typical of Tabriz workshops, ensuring durability while maintaining a supple texture underfoot. Its age has given it a graceful patina, further enhancing its timeless charm.

This rug from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a collectible statement of refined taste and exceptional craftsmanship—it is also a rare survival of the modernist movement as interpreted through Persian textile 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.
