Vintage Tabriz Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Silk Rug BB9220 10'8" × 14'7" $70,000

This vintage Tabriz silk rug, woven in Persia circa 1940, reflects the refined workshop tradition of one of Iran’s most celebrated weaving centers. Its restrained palette and formal composition give it an elegant, quietly aged presence suited to sophisticated interiors.

The design unfolds across a light beige field in narrow vertical bands, each filled with delicate scrolling ornament and softened floral tracery. A warm taupe motif palette keeps the pattern readable without overwhelming the surface, while the subtle variation in tone creates depth and movement. The allover arrangement feels disciplined and airy at once, balancing symmetry with a gentle sense of fade.

A broad border frames the composition with elongated cartouche-like forms and tonal floral detail, reinforcing the rug’s classical Persian character. Woven in silk, it has the luminous finish and supple refinement associated with fine Tabriz carpets, making it especially well suited to formal living rooms, libraries, or interiors that call for a composed antique anchor.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
