Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB4034 8'7" × 11'0" $60,000

This early 20th-century Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1900, is a hand-knotted wool carpet that reflects the city’s celebrated tradition of refined workshop weaving.

Its luminous sky-blue field is arranged in an allover composition of floral scrolls, palmettes, and figural cartouche medallions, creating a surface that feels orderly yet animated. Ivory, camel, and brown outlines sharpen the drawing, while softer touches of pale blue and sage lend the design a gentle, aged brightness. Rather than relying on a single central emphasis, the pattern unfolds across the field with balanced rhythm and remarkable detail.

A layered border frames the composition with arabesques and botanical ornament, reinforcing the formal Persian revival character of the piece. The result is a Tabriz carpet with clear architectural structure and decorative richness, equally suited to rooms that call for history, pattern, and a measured palette.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
