Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB7902 11'2" × 16'1" $65,000

This antique Persian Tabriz carpet, woven circa 1920, comes from one of Iran’s most respected weaving centers and reflects the poised craftsmanship for which Tabriz rugs are known. Hand-knotted in wool, it belongs to the refined tradition of early 20th-century Persian weaving.

A warm tan field softens the formal allover layout, where teal-blue scrolling vines, floral sprays, and crest-like arabesques form a rhythmic trellis across the surface. The design carries a subtle medallion presence without becoming strictly centered, allowing the composition to feel balanced, architectural, and quietly relaxed. Small blossoms and delicate tendrils fill the open spaces with fine detail.

The border adds stronger visual weight, using a deeper blue floral pattern to frame the interior with crisp definition. Age has softened the palette into layered shades of beige, blue, and warm tan, giving the rug an inviting patina that suits traditional rooms as well as transitional interiors. As an antique Tabriz Persian rug, it offers both decorative versatility and enduring character.

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.
