Tabriz Persian Antique Medallion Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7521 11'4" × 14'2" $28,000

This exquisite Persian Tabriz rug from the early 1900s exemplifies the sophistication and artistry of one of Persia’s most renowned weaving centers. The carpet presents a striking central medallion design, seamlessly integrated with a refined field and richly detailed borders.

At the heart of the rug lies a grand floral medallion rendered in muted shades of blue, beige, and brown, radiating outward with delicate botanical motifs. The surrounding field, woven in a soft pale blue-ground, provides an elegant backdrop that enhances the medallion’s prominence. The spandrels echo the floral and vine patterns, ensuring balance and harmony across the composition.

The border system is equally distinguished, featuring a wide rust-toned main border adorned with scrolling palmettes, blossoms, and intertwining vines, framed by narrower guard stripes in complementary hues. The overall color palette of sky blue, ivory, camel, chocolate brown, and midnight blue reflects the Tabriz weavers’ mastery of tonal balance and sophistication.

Crafted with fine wool and meticulous knotting, this antique Tabriz rug not only embodies the technical excellence of the region but also reflects the artistic traditions of late 19th- to early 20th-century Persia, where rugs were created as both functional floor coverings and enduring works of art. Its classical medallion-and-corner layout, coupled with the subtle, time-softened patina, makes it a prized choice for collectors and connoisseurs seeking elegance, history, and timeless design.
