Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB2938 13'10" × 20'7" $95,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted in Persia circa 1880, reflects the poised court-weaving tradition for which the city of Tabriz is renowned. Its soft beige field and measured layout create an atmosphere of calm formality from the outset.

Across the surface, a fine trellis of scrolling vines, blossoms, and rosette-like medallion accents forms an allover floral rhythm, with mirrored movement lending the design a subtle sense of symmetry. Bottle green, warm brown, and muted gold thread through the drawing, adding depth without disrupting the rug’s light, weathered ground. The result is densely articulated yet visually airy.

A dark green border frames the composition with clarity, reinforcing the rug’s elegant court balance and giving the interior field a crisp edge. This Tabriz brings botanical ornament, softened antique character, and quiet sophistication to both classical interiors and more contemporary rooms that benefit from a restrained historic anchor. Its refined scale and low-contrast palette make it especially versatile beneath seating arrangements, in formal dining rooms, or in layered spaces that call for warmth.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
