Antique Tabriz Persian Medallion Oversized Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1880 BB3952 15'10" × 22'3" $130,000

This circa 1880 Persian Tabriz oversized carpet is hand-knotted in wool and designed in the refined medallion tradition of northwestern Persia. Its light beige field is organized around a broad, layered central crest that gives the composition clear structure while preserving the soft, antique character that Tabriz carpets are prized for.

Across the open ground, fine floral and geometric detailing forms concentric diamond frames, creating a calm rhythm rather than a heavy graphic effect. The border suite is equally graceful, with scrolling botanical ornaments, rosettes, and small repeating devices in warm taupe and brown. The mellow palette keeps the pattern legible yet understated.

Because the design balances order and airiness, this Persian rug works beautifully in formal living rooms, dining spaces, or layered designer interiors that call for history without visual noise. Its faded patina and disciplined layout speak to Tabriz weaving at its most elegant and restrained.

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.
