Antique Tabriz Persian Medallion Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 Ghom BB5771 10'0" × 13'7" $53,000

This exquisite 1920s Persian Tabriz rug embodies the refinement and meticulous craftsmanship for which Tabriz weavers are renowned. Its design departs from the densely ornamented floral patterns often associated with Persian carpets, embracing instead a more restrained and architectural aesthetic.

The field is adorned with an elegant diamond lattice pattern, each compartment delicately filled with petite floral rosettes, creating a sense of rhythm and balance across the expanse of the carpet. At the heart of the composition lies a subtle medallion motif, gracefully articulated through scrolling arabesques that appear to dissolve into the surrounding latticework. The result is a seamless interplay between structure and ornament, geometry and fluidity.

The rug’s palette is a study in sophistication: soft beige and cream tones form the ground, gently contrasted by accents of warm chestnut brown and the occasional hint of pale celadon green. This understated color scheme lends the piece both a serene ambiance and remarkable versatility, allowing it to harmonize beautifully in a wide range of interiors—from traditional to modern minimalist settings.

Framing the field is a series of geometric borders, where interlaced motifs and repeating rosettes echo the lattice structure of the interior, providing a sense of cohesion while emphasizing the rug’s grand proportions.

Woven nearly a century ago in one of Persia’s most important weaving centers, this Tabriz rug not only reflects the technical mastery and artistic sensitivity of its makers but also stands as a timeless decorative statement. Its delicate patterning, balanced proportions, and calming tonality make it an ideal foundation for spaces that seek both refinement and quiet elegance.
