Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7271 10'2" × 14'6" $53,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, hand-knotted around 1900, reflects the refined urban weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Its formal allover composition is balanced and disciplined, yet softened by age into an inviting palette of warm taupe, light beige, and deep brown.

The field is organized by a trellis-like framework of linked floral medallions, rosettes, and scrolling vine work, creating a steady rhythm across the surface. Rather than relying on a single central focal point, the design unfolds evenly from edge to edge, giving the carpet a sense of quiet movement and architectural order. The repeat is intricate but restrained, ideal for interiors that call for ornament with clarity.

A busy floral border and narrow guard bands frame the composition with the same measured elegance, reinforcing the rug’s classic Persian character. Hand-knotted in wool, this antique Tabriz offers the softness, patina, and subtle tonal variation that make early 20th-century Persian rugs so enduring in both traditional and transitional settings.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
