Antique Tabriz Persian Medallion Floral Oversized Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB6595 14'4" × 22'4" $95,000

This oversized antique Persian Tabriz rug, circa 1900, is hand-knotted in wool and belongs to the refined formal weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Its large format and measured ornament give it the presence of a classic room-sized Tabriz, made for interiors that value scale, symmetry, and quiet sophistication.

A stepped diamond medallion settles into the warm tan field, where tiny floral sprays and foliate motifs are arranged with remarkable discipline. Dark taupe and brown patterning creates a soft, almost woven-lace effect around the center and in the corner fields, while the aged pile tempers the design and keeps the surface serene rather than ornate.

The border system is equally well resolved, with scrolling vines, blossoms, and slender guard bands framing the composition in a relaxed, antique hand. Beige, taupe, and warm brown tones lend the rug an easy versatility that works in traditional rooms as well as transitional spaces, where a Persian medallion carpet can gracefully anchor furnishings without overwhelming them.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
