Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 (Size Adjusted) Garden Design BB2716 12'4" × 15'8" $41,000

Woven in Persia circa 1880, this antique Tabriz carpet reflects the refined workshop tradition of northwest Persian weaving. Its allover garden format and disciplined drawing place it within one of the most admired schools of Persian rug making.

The warm tan field is organized into a grid of small rectangular compartments, each filled with stylized trees, flowering stems, and leafy vignettes in soft beige, taupe, and deep brown. A narrow vertical and horizontal axis cross at the center, where a small medallion anchors the layout and reinforces the chahar bagh-inspired symmetry. Rather than feeling busy, the repeated panels create a measured rhythm that gives the rug a collected, architectural presence.

Layered floral borders frame the composition with scrolling vines, rosettes, and palmettes in muted earth tones, echoing the field without overpowering it. The restrained palette and formal geometry make this antique Persian rug especially versatile for rooms that call for warmth, structure, and quiet ornament—ideal beneath traditional furnishings, in transitional interiors, or as a grounding counterpoint to pared-back design.

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.
