Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB6599 11'0" × 17'0" $75,000

This antique Persian Tabriz carpet, hand-knotted circa 1900, reflects the refined urban weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Woven in wool, it presents a quiet, balanced composition that feels both formal and inviting, with the disciplined structure for which antique Tabriz rugs are prized.

The field is organized as an allover trellis of repeating boteh-like floral units set in horizontal bands, creating a steady rhythm across the warm tan background. Rather than relying on bold contrast, the design unfolds in soft beige, taupe, and muted brown tones, with just a hint of blush that lends warmth to the surface. The effect is layered and graceful, yet restrained.

A finely drawn border system frames the field with rosettes, scrolling vines, and delicate foliate details, reinforcing the rug’s classical Persian character. Its low-contrast palette and ordered repeat make it an elegant foundation for traditional rooms, while the antique patina and subtle ornament also translate beautifully into more contemporary interiors seeking texture, history, and architectural calm.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
