Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB5927 13'4" × 17'9" $105,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the refined courtly weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it is composed with the balance and precision that distinguish fine Tabriz carpets from the same period.

The warm tan field is organized by an allover lattice of scrolling vinework, palmettes, and small floral rosettes, creating a pattern that feels measured rather than busy. Dark navy lines trace the arabesque framework, giving the design definition and a subtle sense of movement across the surface. Repeated crest-like forms and rosette nodes add depth while preserving the rug’s formal symmetry.

An emphatic midnight blue border frames the composition and reinforces its classic Persian character. The palette of warm tan, soft beige, brown, and deep navy gives the piece a mellow, time-softened richness that works beautifully in traditional, transitional, or collected interiors. As an antique Tabriz rug, it offers both decorative restraint and enduring visual presence.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
