Antique Tabriz Persian Medallion Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB9076 10'9" × 16'3" $65,000

This antique Persian Tabriz carpet, woven circa 1920 in northwestern Persia, reflects the refined workshop tradition of one of Iran’s most admired weaving centers. Hand-knotted in wool, it presents the disciplined symmetry and elegant finish for which early Tabriz rugs are prized, softened here by a graceful antique patina.

A large, dark medallion sits at the center of the soft beige field, its lozenge form surrounded by a finely worked network of geometric florals and small repeating blossoms. Terracotta, rust, slate blue, and midnight accents animate the surface without disturbing its calm, while the four corners deepen the composition and reinforce its formal, architectural balance.

Several layered borders, including a coral-toned main band and narrow guard stripes, frame the design with measured rhythm. The overall effect is restrained yet richly detailed, making this Tabriz Persian rug well suited to rooms that need heritage character, subtle color, and a composed antique presence in a formal living room or layered dining space.

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.
