Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB6701 11'6" × 18'5" $53,000

This antique Persian Tabriz carpet, woven circa 1900, is a hand-knotted wool rug from one of northwestern Persia’s most esteemed weaving centers. Its warm tan ground and gently faded palette give the piece an unusually soft presence, allowing the classic Tabriz floral tradition to read with restraint rather than grandeur.

The field is organized as an allover botanical lattice of fine vine scrolls, palmettes, rosettes, and meandering blossoms, with a subdued medallion trace lending quiet symmetry. Brown outlines and muted blue accents appear throughout the composition, while the worn surface softens the contrast and creates a painterly, timeworn effect.

A defined border frames the carpet with crisp structural balance, echoing the floral language of the field and reinforcing its formal character. Elegant yet relaxed, this antique Tabriz rug works beautifully beneath tailored seating, in an entry, or in any interior that benefits from antique texture, subtle color, and refined Persian craftsmanship.

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.
