Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB7206 11'8" × 13'0" $63,000

A captivating example of early 20th-century Persian artistry, this antique Tabriz rug from the 1920s exudes refined elegance and a timeless sense of grace. Rendered in a soft, muted palette of pale celadon, washed apricot, ash beige, and light café au lait, the rug’s subdued tones lend it a serene and sophisticated presence—ideal for a tranquil interior or formal setting.

The intricate allover botanical design is emblematic of the celebrated Tabriz weaving tradition, featuring a meticulously articulated pattern of rosettes, lotus blossoms, palmettes, and scrolling vinery. Each floral element is carefully balanced in scale and spacing, creating a rhythmic flow across the entire field. The central area avoids the use of a medallion, instead emphasizing a continuous field that enhances the rug’s versatility and understated elegance.

Encasing the lush field is a broad, complementary border adorned with stylized palmettes and floral arabesques, further framed by thinner guard bands with rosette motifs. The border’s intricate rendering mirrors the finesse of the central design, reinforcing the harmonious visual narrative.

Woven by master craftsmen in Tabriz—a city renowned for producing some of Persia’s most exquisite and finely knotted carpets—this rug reflects the exceptional skill and attention to detail that defines the region’s legacy. The densely knotted wool pile has developed a gentle patina over time, lending it a subtle, luminous sheen and whisper of antiquity.

This rare square-ish format adds to the piece’s uniqueness, offering both visual balance and practical flexibility for a variety of room settings. Whether placed in a classic drawing room, a contemporary sitting area, or a serene bedroom, this antique Tabriz rug will quietly elevate its environment with its storied beauty and enduring craftsmanship.
