Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8618 12'5" × 22'2" $135,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the distinguished floral weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it presents the poised, highly disciplined drawing for which Tabriz carpets are admired, with the grace of an antique piece that has mellowed beautifully over time.

The composition is an elegant allover botanical field rather than a single-centered medallion, built from repeating palmette forms, scrolling vines, and trellis-like connections that give the surface constant movement. A warm tan ground softens the pattern, while cream, light blue, and soft gray accents keep the design airy and refined. The result is detailed, yet never heavy.

A layered border system frames the field with floral ornament and measured symmetry, reinforcing the rug’s tailored presence. Its muted palette and low-contrast patterning make it especially effective in interiors that call for traditional character with a calm, collected finish, whether anchoring a formal room or adding quiet history to a contemporary setting.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
