Tabriz Persian Antique Floral Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7143 12'4" × 22'8" $150,000

This exquisite antique Persian Tabriz rug from the early 20th century is a masterful example of the artistry and refinement for which Tabriz weavers are renowned. Woven circa 1900, the rug presents a beautifully aged patina that enhances its timeless appeal and historic character.

The field is adorned with an elegant all-over floral design, featuring an abundance of palmettes, rosettes, and serrated leaves, all interconnected by delicate, sinuous vine scrolls. Rendered in a harmonious palette of soft creams, muted golds, warm taupes, and faded blues set against a deep navy ground, the design conveys both grandeur and subtle sophistication. The abrashed indigo background gives depth and movement, allowing the lighter florals to bloom across the surface with painterly grace.

Framing the field is a series of meticulously detailed borders. The broad main border showcases an alternating palmette and floral motif set within scrolling tendrils, complemented by narrower guard borders with repeating rosettes and small-scale floral elements. The restrained yet intricate border work provides balance to the lush density of the central field.

Handwoven from finely knotted wool, this rug exhibits the exceptional craftsmanship typical of Tabriz workshops, with precise detailing that reflects both Persian artistic tradition and the influence of classical Safavid designs. Its large format and dignified composition make it an outstanding choice for a grand interior space, whether traditional or modern.

A true collector’s piece, this antique Tabriz rug embodies over a century of history while offering enduring elegance, refined artistry, and remarkable decorative versatility.
