Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1880 BB7252 12'9" × 16'0" $80,000

This antique Persian Tabriz carpet, woven circa 1880, reflects the refined court tradition of northwestern Iran. Hand-knotted in wool, it presents the disciplined clarity and balanced ornament associated with the finest 19th-century Tabriz weaving.

The composition is organized around a deep indigo field filled with an allover lattice of flowering vines, palmettes, and rosette-like blossoms. Mirrored branches rise in vertical rhythm from the center, creating a formal botanical structure that feels both architectural and fluid. A subdued central crest lends quiet emphasis without disturbing the overall symmetry.

Framing the design is a warm tan border enriched with scrolling florals and a smaller guard sequence that sharpens the edge of the field. Soft beige, taupe, dark brown, and muted navy accents temper the palette, giving the carpet a time-softened elegance. Its dense pattern and gracious scale make it especially well suited to traditional, transitional, or layered interiors.

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.
