Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB8564 12'7" × 19'6" $130,000

This exceptional 1920’s Persian Tabriz rug exemplifies the refined artistry and master craftsmanship for which Tabriz weaving is renowned. Woven nearly a century ago, its composition is a harmonious balance of intricate detail, soft color tonality, and timeless elegance.

The field features a meticulously rendered all-over floral lattice, where delicate blossoms, scrolling vines, and palmettes are arranged in a precise yet organic rhythm. The palette is a sophisticated blend of faded cornflower blue, warm camel, soft ivory, and subtle hints of rose and gold—tones gracefully mellowed by age to a serene patina.

The wide main border, in a muted camel ground, is adorned with softly stylized floral medallions in cool blue, framed by narrow guard stripes with meandering vine motifs. This border not only grounds the design but also enhances the carpet’s visual depth and proportion.

Woven in fine wool on a cotton foundation, this Tabriz displays a short, velvety pile that lends clarity to its motifs while revealing the textural charm of age. Its gentle wear and abrash (natural color variation) speak to its authenticity and history, evoking a sense of character without diminishing its beauty.

With its generous size, balanced proportions, and understated grandeur, this antique Tabriz rug is ideal for anchoring a formal living room, dining space, or gallery-like interior, where it will impart both warmth and a quiet sophistication.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
