Antique Tabriz Persian Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB3418 12'7" × 19'6" $130,000

Woven in Persia around 1900, this antique Tabriz Persian rug reflects the city’s celebrated weaving tradition in a hand-knotted wool carpet made for a refined interior.

Its warm tan field is organized by a repeating trellis of medallion-like cartouches, each packed with stylized floral ornament and softened sage green accents. The pattern reads as both structured and animated: dense botanical forms fill the field, while the lattice gives the composition a clear architectural rhythm. A narrow, multi-band border frames the design with delicate floral tracery, reinforcing the rug’s formal balance without interrupting the movement of the allover repeat. Faded cream tones lend the surface an antique softness.

That mellow palette of warm beige, sage, and earthy tan allows the carpet to feel quietly grounded rather than busy, making it especially effective beneath seating arrangements or in rooms that benefit from order and pattern. It brings the clarity of Persian floral design and the understated elegance collectors look for in an antique Tabriz rug, while remaining versatile with both traditional and contemporary furnishings.

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.
