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

An antique Persian Tabriz rug from circa 1900, hand-knotted in wool, this formal carpet reflects the city’s celebrated weaving tradition in a restrained, room-filling composition.

The warm tan field is worked in soft beige, taupe, and brown, creating a low-contrast palette that feels aged, refined, and quietly architectural. Beneath the surface, scrolling vines, stylized blossoms, and foliate tendrils unfold in an allover floral rhythm, while a subdued medallion/crest at the center anchors the design without interrupting its flow.

A layered border system frames the composition with cartouche-like motifs, rosettes, and narrow floral guards, reinforcing the rug’s balanced structure. The time-softened patina gives the drawing a gentle blur, allowing the antique Tabriz pattern to feel collected rather than rigid. It is an elegant choice for interiors seeking a Persian rug with historic character, formal order, and a warm neutral presence.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
