Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB5648 11'0" × 13'10" $90,000

Woven in Persia around 1900, this antique Tabriz Persian rug is a hand-knotted wool room-size carpet in the city’s renowned workshop tradition. Its balanced allover composition favors order and restraint, making the piece feel architectural rather than ornate.

The pale sand field is covered with a softened repeat of floral medallions, palmettes, and trellis-like motifs that drift across the surface in measured rhythm. Instead of a single dominant center, the pattern unfolds evenly from edge to edge, creating visual depth through repetition and a gently faded patina. The result is formal, yet relaxed, with enough negative space to let each motif breathe.

Warm terracotta and burnt orange tones are cooled by dusty teal, light beige, and muted blue, while the border hierarchy remains clear and elegantly proportioned. A broad frame of larger floral forms anchors the design and gives the rug a grounded presence. This antique Persian Tabriz rug is especially well suited to interiors seeking historic character, subdued color, and a refined decorative layer.

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.
