Exquisite Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8874 8'5" × 11'4" $32,000

This exquisite 1900’s Antique Persian Tabriz rug is a masterclass in the artistry and craftsmanship that has made Tabriz weaving renowned for centuries. Hand-knotted in the heart of northwest Persia, the piece features an intricate allover floral pattern rendered in a sophisticated, harmonious palette of soft beige, muted camel, and delicate shades of blue, accented with gentle touches of brown.

The central field is densely adorned with finely detailed botanical motifs—palmettes, rosettes, vine scrolls, and stylized leaves—arranged with remarkable symmetry and balance. The subtle abrash in the dyes enhances its depth and antique charm, revealing the organic beauty of natural vegetable dyes mellowed over time.

A striking border frames the field, with a main navy-blue band richly decorated with rosettes and flowering sprays, flanked by multiple guard borders featuring meandering vine patterns. The composition showcases not only the technical precision but also the refined aesthetic sensibility that characterizes the best examples from Tabriz workshops.

Woven from high-quality wool on a cotton foundation, this rug has a firm yet supple handle and a fine weave indicative of skilled craftsmanship. Its understated elegance and timeless floral design make it as versatile in today’s interiors as it was prestigious in the grand homes of the early 20th century.

This antique Tabriz is more than a floor covering—it is a piece of Persian cultural heritage, embodying over a century of history, artistry, and enduring beauty.
