Persian Tabriz Wool Rug with Garden Panel Motif BB8854 9'10" × 13'9" $48,000

A masterful example of Persian craftsmanship, this antique Tabriz rug from the 1920s is a celebration of artistry, precision, and cultural heritage. Woven from fine wool, it showcases an intricate panel design inspired by the “chahar bagh” (four gardens) layout—an architectural and symbolic motif rooted in Persian paradise garden traditions.

The rug’s field is organized into a structured grid of rectangular compartments, each containing exquisite depictions of floral arrangements, willows, blossoming trees, fruit-bearing branches, birds, and fountains. These vignettes are executed in a palette of soft blush, rust, ivory, and warm brown tones, conveying elegance and serenity. Four central medallions anchor the composition with radial floral bursts, reinforcing the symmetrical harmony of the layout.

A wide border frames the field, echoing the naturalistic theme with larger botanical and fruit motifs, enhancing the feeling of an abundant garden. The muted color scheme and meticulous drawing give this piece a refined, almost tapestry-like quality, ideal for both classic and modern interiors.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
