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

This oversized antique Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, reflects the refined city weaving tradition for which Tabriz has long been admired. Its generous scale and formal layout give it an architectural presence, while age has softened the drawing into a calm, lived-in surface.

The softly beige field is densely worked with an allover floral and foliate design that resolves into a subtle medallion-and-crest rhythm rather than a single dominant center. Dusty rose, taupe, muted brown, and gray tones blend into one another across the surface, creating a low-contrast effect that feels elegant and restrained. The pattern remains visible, but with the kind of mellow patina that lends antique Persian rugs their depth.

A broad border in warm rose tones frames the composition with scrolling palmettes and stylized blossoms, reinforcing the rug’s formal character. This antique Tabriz is well suited to interiors that call for softness and structure at once, bringing historic Persian character, quiet color, and a layered decorative finish to grand rooms and furnished settings.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance.
