Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8736 12'10" × 16'5" $85,000

This early 20th-century Persian Tabriz rug exemplifies the sophistication and artistry for which the Tabriz weaving tradition is celebrated. Hand-knotted in wool, the piece displays a harmonious, softly faded palette of warm terracotta, muted rose, gentle ivory, and earthy browns—tones mellowed by time into a graceful patina.

At its heart lies a striking central medallion, elegantly nested within a diamond-shaped field adorned with intricate floral motifs, palmettes, and curling arabesques. The surrounding ground is densely ornamented yet impeccably balanced, showcasing the weavers’ mastery of symmetry and proportion. Multiple borders frame the composition, each filled with meandering vines and stylized blossoms, creating a rhythmic transition from the richly patterned field to the rug’s refined edges.

The wear across the surface, revealing subtle variations in pile height, speaks to over a century of history while enhancing the rug’s antique charm. Measuring generously, it is perfectly suited for a grand interior, where its understated elegance and complex design will lend both warmth and sophistication.
