Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB7283 11'6" × 18'1" $100,000

This exquisite antique Tabriz rug embodies the refined artistry for which the master weavers of Northwest Persia are renowned. Its all-over design unfolds across a warm, muted camel-toned field, enriched with a harmonious palette of earthy browns, soft creams, and subtle sky blues.

The intricate patterning features a balanced arrangement of stylized floral medallions, palmettes, and delicate vinery, interconnected by an elegant lattice of angular vines. The mastery of proportion and rhythm is further enhanced by the meticulously drawn border system—most notably the wide main border with scrolling floral motifs set against a contrasting soft blue ground, flanked by narrow guard borders that provide visual cohesion.

Rendered in lustrous wool and exhibiting a graceful patina acquired over more than a century, this rug radiates both sophistication and warmth. The delicate abrash and gentle wear speak to its age and authenticity, while its harmonious color balance makes it versatile for both traditional and contemporary interiors.

This Tabriz exemplifies the city’s legacy as a center of Persian weaving excellence—its precision knotting, dignified design, and restrained palette making it not only a decorative foundation but a collectible textile treasure.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
