Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB6603 11'5" × 15'4" $51,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, reflects the city’s celebrated weaving tradition in a softly aged, formal idiom.

Its warm tan field is worked with an allover trellis of flowering vines, small blossoms, and subtle medallion forms, all rendered with a fine, deliberate hand. The drawing is intricate yet relaxed by time, so the pattern reads with depth rather than sharp contrast. Faded light blue lines thread through the composition, while dark brown outlines and floral details provide quiet definition.

A pale blue border frames the center with scrolling foliage and small floral repeats, reinforcing the rug’s balanced, composed character. The result is a Persian floral carpet with an easy elegance that suits layered traditional rooms as well as restrained contemporary interiors. Its softened palette and hand-knotted wool pile lend it the kind of patina collectors value in antique Tabriz rugs.

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.
