Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1880 BB7328 12'3" × 21'3" $105,000

This antique Persian Tabriz carpet, woven circa 1880, reflects the refined workshop tradition of northwestern Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it presents a formal allover composition that feels elegant and balanced rather than ornate.

The field is filled with a dense repeat of boteh forms, small floral rosettes, and curling vinework, creating a continuous paisley-and-botanical surface. A disciplined border of larger blossoms and scrolling foliage frames the design, while narrow guard bands sharpen the composition and give the rug its classical Tabriz structure.

A light beige ground softens the dark blue, soft gray, warm taupe, and faded tan accents, producing the quiet contrast prized in antique Persian rugs. Time has mellowed the palette into a restrained, airy tonality that layers easily into formal seating rooms, libraries, or dining rooms, where its antique patina can add depth without visual weight.

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.
