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 circa 1900 reflects the city’s celebrated weaving tradition in a formal hand-knotted wool carpet with a softly aged soft beige ground. A faded central medallion anchors the composition, while the surrounding field remains open enough to let the ornament breathe.

Across the surface, scrolling vines, palmettes, blossoms, and vase-like botanical forms unfold in a measured, symmetrical rhythm. Dusty rose, muted terracotta, taupe, and warm brown accents bring definition to the design without disturbing its restrained atmosphere, and the border of rosettes and cartouche-like motifs gives the piece a clear architectural frame.

That balance of density and ease makes the rug especially effective in formal living rooms, dining spaces, and layered transitional interiors. Its time-softened palette and finely worked Tabriz pattern lend the carpet a cultivated character that feels both historically grounded and quietly versatile.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
