Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7215 11'3" × 18'10" $105,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1880, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northwest Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it belongs to the formal Tabriz school, known for precise drawing, elegant proportions, and sophisticated floral composition.

The field is animated by an allover botanical repeat on a soft sky-blue ground, where rosettes, palmettes, and flowering vines interlace in a fine trellis. Rather than centering the eye on a single medallion, the design creates a steady visual cadence that feels serene, layered, and remarkably adaptable in interiors.

A warm terracotta border with large floral blossoms and scrolling arabesques provides definition, while narrow guard borders add a crisp finish. Time has softened the palette into dusty rose, light blue, taupe, and warm tan, giving the rug a graceful patina that complements both traditional furnishings and more contemporary spaces.

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.
