Antique Tabriz Persian Medallion Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7378 12'0" × 18'2" $100,000

Measuring approximately 12′0″ × 18′2″, this late-19th-century Persian Tabriz rug is a remarkable example of formal botanical design and refined craftsmanship.

Its field presents a warm peach ground, over which a bold dark-gray scalloped medallion is set. The medallion is intricately embellished with blossoms and geometrical motifs that articulate the central form while allowing the surrounding field to breathe with decoration.

Encircling the field is a soft peach rosette border that echoes the central palette—infused with gentle floral elements that complement the motifs in the medallion. The ivory-tinged border and delicate detailing reinforce the piece’s symmetry and elegance.

Woven with finely spun wool in Tabriz, this rug combines strength with a luminous beauty. Its balanced composition, subtle color gradations, and formal structure make it a statement piece—one that can anchor a room with timeless sophistication.

This rug from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a collectible statement of refined taste and exceptional craftsmanship—it is also a rare survival of the modernist movement as interpreted through Persian textile tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
