Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB8621 16'10" × 21'0" $130,000

A masterful example of late 19th-century Persian craftsmanship, this exceptional Antique Tabriz Rug from circa 1880 embodies the artistic heights achieved by weavers in the historic city of Tabriz. “Spanning an impressive 16’10” by 21’0″, this regal carpet radiates elegance through its sophisticated palette and intricately rendered floral motifs.

At the heart of the design lies a rhythmic medallion-and-palmette layout, framed within a delicately articulated lattice of vine-scrolls and floral sprays. The ground hue—a gentle faded blush coral—serves as a warm canvas for the more vivid midnight blues, indigo accents, pale celadons, and dusty ivory tones. These colors weave together in a symphony of botanical elements, including rosettes, cloud bands, arabesques, and lotus blossoms, all harmonized with remarkable balance.

The border, equally majestic, showcases classic Persian turtle motifs and stylized floral arabesques set within layered guard bands, further anchoring the composition in tradition while enhancing its ornamental grandeur.

Woven with incredible precision from the finest wool, this antique rug offers not only a soft and durable pile but also a piece of history—testament to the renowned Tabriz workshops of the Qajar era. Its mature patina and subtle abrash speak to its authenticity and age, offering connoisseurs and collectors a truly museum-worthy piece.

This rug is ideal for a grand interior setting, whether classic or transitional, adding depth, warmth, and timeless beauty.
