Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Oversized Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB2181 17'0" × 24'4" $130,000

Originating from the renowned weaving center of Tabriz, this oversized antique Persian rug, woven circa 1900, embodies the grandeur and sophistication for which Persian carpets are celebrated. With its expansive scale and finely detailed pattern, this piece is a quintessential example of the artistry and craftsmanship of early 20th-century Tabriz weaving.

The field features an intricate allover Herati pattern rendered in soft, earthy tones of walnut, dusty rose, taupe, and sand, all gently muted by age into a harmonious palette that evokes timeless elegance. Enclosed within a series of finely wrought guard borders, the broad primary border is adorned with a grand palmette and scrolling vine motif, creating a striking contrast and framing the inner design with grace and balance.

Hand-knotted using high-quality wool, the rug retains a soft patina and beautifully worn texture that enhance its antique character. The meticulous weave and precision of the motifs reflect the high level of technical skill typical of Tabriz workshops during this period.

This antique Tabriz carpet is not only a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Persian rug-making but also a sophisticated decorative anchor suited for grand interiors. Whether placed in a formal living room, library, or gallery-like space, it adds a sense of history and understated luxury.
