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

This exquisite 1880’s Antique Persian Tabriz rug exemplifies the refined artistry and meticulous craftsmanship of one of Persia’s most celebrated weaving centers. The rug boasts an expansive field rendered in a serene, time-softened sky-blue, densely populated with an intricate allover botanical pattern. Stylized palmettes, rosettes, and flowering vines unfold in harmonious symmetry, their warm sand, ivory, and muted apricot tones creating a gentle contrast against the cool ground.

The botanical motifs are interconnected by a graceful lattice of scrolling vinery, imbuing the composition with a sense of rhythmic continuity. The border architecture frames the field with a masterful interplay of scale and color—a broad main border in a faded terracotta hue features grand floral heads and leafy arabesques, flanked by delicate guard borders adorned with meandering floral tendrils.

Woven with a tight, precise knotting technique characteristic of fine Tabriz work, the rug reflects the balance between decorative elegance and technical mastery. Its palette, now softened with age, enhances the piece’s understated sophistication, making it ideal for both traditional and transitional interiors. The combination of an allover floral design, refined color harmony, and the enduring quality of 19th-century Persian weaving ensures that this Tabriz stands as both a work of art and a testament to timeless craftsmanship.
