Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6473 11'5" × 15'5" $85,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1920, reflects the refined courtly tradition of northwest Persia. Its composed layout and finely drawn ornament place it among the more elegant floral carpets of the period, where discipline and decoration are carefully balanced.

The warm tan field is filled with a delicate allover arrangement of blossoms, rosettes, and slender vines, organized around a subtle medallion-and-crest axis. Dark brown linework and touches of soft blue give the drawing definition without disturbing the rug’s low-contrast calm, so the pattern reads as detailed rather than busy.

A broad border in faded blue tones frames the interior with quiet authority, carrying scrolling botanical motifs that echo the field. The result is a Tabriz Persian rug with an airy, architectural presence: formal enough for a classic room, yet restrained enough to bring texture and depth to a more contemporary interior.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
