Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1880 BB7493 6'7" × 9'7" $43,000

Woven in Persia’s Tabriz region circa 1880, this antique hand-knotted wool carpet reflects the refined workshop tradition that made Tabriz rugs so prized among Persian carpets. Its light beige ground and formal layout lend the piece a graceful, collected presence.

A slender vase-tree rises through the center, branching into delicate floral motifs, small rosettes, and geometric blossoms scattered across the field. The composition feels both ordered and airy, with ample negative space allowing the rust red and teal accents to register clearly against the ivory field. Dark navy corner spandrels add contrast and frame the interior drawing with architectural weight.

An intricate border system completes the design, moving from a narrow inner guard to a wider main band and an outer register animated by small figural details. The result is a Tabriz Persian rug that balances botanical refinement with a slightly whimsical antique character, well suited to formal rooms, layered interiors, or spaces that call for a composed medallion rug with historic depth.

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.
