Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8878 10'7" × 15'2" $70,000

This early 20th-century Persian Tabriz rug showcases the masterful craftsmanship and refined aesthetic for which the Tabriz weaving tradition is renowned. Its design is dominated by an all-over boteh (paisley) motif, rhythmically repeated across the field in diagonal rows. The botehs are rendered in soft beige and brown tones, gracefully outlined for definition, and set against a luminous sky-blue ground filled with delicate floral tracery.

The composition is framed by an elegant series of borders: a wide main border with palmette-and-vine scrollwork enclosed by multiple narrow guard stripes, each finely articulated. The harmonious color palette—primarily soft blue, ivory, and warm taupe—imbues the piece with both freshness and sophistication, while the meticulous weave and precise drawing speak to its workshop origins in Tabriz, one of Persia’s most important weaving centers.

This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, is not only a decorative centerpiece but also a testament to the enduring beauty and quality of early 1900s Persian artistry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
