Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB2849 12'5" × 17'0" $95,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the refined floral tradition of northwestern Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it presents a formal allover composition that feels balanced, elegant, and quietly tailored.

A warm tan ground is covered with mirrored vine-scrolls, rosettes, and delicate botanical sprays arranged in a steady trellis-like rhythm. Sage green and teal accents cool the palette, while brick-red blossoms punctuate the surface and keep the design lively. The drawing remains crisp and controlled, giving the pattern a measured cadence across the field.

The border, with its palmettes, blossoms, and scrolling foliage, creates a clear frame that strengthens the rug’s architectural presence. Its tonal warmth and classical Persian symmetry make it well suited to formal living rooms, libraries, or layered transitional interiors, where it can soften strong furnishings and add age, texture, and quiet distinction.

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.
