Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8529 11'4" × 17'3" $65,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug is a hand-knotted wool carpet from Persia, woven in the celebrated Tabriz tradition. Its antique age and refined workmanship are immediately apparent in the disciplined allover composition and the quietly balanced border structure.

The field is filled with a dense trellis of small floral forms and geometric links, creating a continuous surface that feels both architectural and richly textile-like. Warm tan and soft beige provide the ground, while deep brown drawing gives the pattern its definition and depth. Rather than relying on a single central medallion, the design moves evenly across the rug, offering a measured rhythm well suited to formal rooms and layered interiors.

Framing the field, a sequence of narrow borders and an understated main border add structure without interrupting the calm, repetitive character of the weave. The gentle patina softens the contrast and lends the piece a welcoming, lived-in elegance. As an antique Tabriz rug, it brings Persian craftsmanship, visual order, and enduring versatility into one accomplished textile.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
