Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8460 10'10" × 14'7" $43,000

This early 20th-century Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, reflects the refined workshop tradition of northwestern Persia. Its warm tan field is softened by age into a mellow, neutral ground that feels calm and collected rather than overtly formal.

Across the surface, an allover lattice organizes repeated medallion-like urn forms, palmettes, and scrolling floral sprays into a disciplined rhythm. The drawing is finely resolved yet gently worn, allowing the darker brown outlines and taupe ornament to recede into a layered, low-contrast pattern that reveals new details on closer view. A narrow inner framing band and a more elaborate border complete the composition with a sense of order.

That balance of botanical ornament and architectural structure makes the rug especially adaptable in a dining room, library, or living space. Its subdued palette and antique patina bring the quiet character collectors associate with a well-preserved Tabriz Persian rug, while the hand-knotted construction gives the surface a supple, time-softened presence.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance.
