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

This exquisite Persian Tabriz rug from the 1920s is an outstanding example of master craftsmanship from one of Iran’s most celebrated weaving centers. Hand-knotted in fine wool, it displays the precision, refinement, and artistic sophistication for which Tabriz rugs are renowned.

The rug features a grand, intricately articulated medallion composition set within a beautifully organized field of densely packed floral motifs. Endless blossoms, palmettes, and delicate vine scrolls unfold in a meticulously balanced, almost lace-like design. Subtle shifts in patterning and tone create an elegant sense of depth and movement across the surface.

Its palette is refined and harmonious, dominated by soft earth tones, warm terracottas, gentle creams, taupes, and charcoal accents, enriched by touches of blue. This restrained coloration gives the rug a graceful antique patina while ensuring versatility in both traditional and sophisticated contemporary interiors. An elaborate multi-layered border frames the composition, echoing the delicacy of the interior motifs and further enhancing its architectural presence.

Woven nearly a century ago, the rug epitomizes the technical excellence and artistic grandeur of early 20th-century Tabriz weaving. Preserved with dignity and character, it is not only a decorative masterpiece but also an authentic historical textile—a distinguished statement piece capable of elevating any space with heritage, elegance, and timeless beauty.
