Tabriz Persian Antique Floral Allover Brick Red Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7525 10'2" × 12'8" $48,000

Woven in Persia, this antique Tabriz rug dates to circa 1920 and reflects the refined floral tradition for which the city is known. Hand-knotted in wool, it balances precision with an inviting, time-softened surface.

A brick red field supports an orderly allover composition of rosettes, palmette forms, and medallion-like blossoms, each linked by fine scrolling vines. Cream reserves keep the drawing legible, while teal, light blue, and dark brown accents add definition and depth. The effect is formal yet lively, with the repeat creating a calculated rhythm across the carpet.

An ivory-cream border frames the design with larger floral motifs and slender guard bands, giving the piece a clear architectural edge. Its structured ornament and warm palette allow it to anchor a traditional room or bring pattern and character to a layered contemporary interior.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
