Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7474 11'0" × 16'9" $65,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, dating to circa 1900, reflects the workshop tradition of northwest Persia in a finely drawn, hand-knotted format. Tabriz has long been admired for carpets that balance disciplined structure with painterly ornament, and this example captures that balance with unusual clarity and grace.

A deep navy field is packed with an allover lattice of rosettes, palmettes, flowering branches, and serrated leaves, giving the composition constant movement without losing its formal order. The motifs are rendered in warm tan, ivory, dusty blue, soft red, and faded celadon, creating a subdued palette that feels time-softened rather than faded.

A layered border system frames the interior with scrolling floral vine work and small repeating details, reinforcing the rug’s symmetrical rhythm. Its dense botanical drawing and restrained coloration make it especially effective in a traditional dining room, a library, or any interior that calls for antique Persian character and measured elegance.

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.
