Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB0899 10'2" × 12'6" $53,000

This exquisite antique Persian Tabriz rug from the early 1900s embodies the refined artistry and sophistication for which Tabriz weavers are celebrated. Hand-knotted in a harmonious palette of earthy beiges, warm taupes, and soft browns, the rug presents a gracefully time-worn patina that enhances its antique character.

The field is richly decorated with an intricate allover floral and vinery design, showcasing scrolling arabesques, stylized blossoms, and leafy tendrils arranged with masterful symmetry. At the center, a subtle floral medallion emerges, blending seamlessly into the dense ornamentation. Surrounding the field, a series of ornate borders—with repeating floral cartouches, palmettes, and delicate rosettes—frame the composition, providing structure without overpowering the intricate interior.

Notably, the rug demonstrates the classic elegance of Tabriz weaving, balancing intricate detail with a sense of openness through its soft, muted color scheme. The abrashed variations in tone lend depth and a painterly quality, while the wool pile retains a gentle sheen, testifying to both the fine craftsmanship and the enduring quality of materials.

Measuring generously, this piece would serve as a sophisticated foundation for a formal interior, whether traditional or modern, bringing with it not only beauty but also the cultural richness of Persian textile heritage.
