Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7569 12'0" × 18'2" $130,000

This circa 1920 Persian Tabriz hand-knotted wool rug reflects the refined workshop tradition of northwestern Persia, where fine village-inspired drawing was translated into exceptionally balanced, formal carpets. Its allover composition is more open and lyrical than medallion-centered, giving the piece a graceful, room-encompassing presence.

Set on a pale sand field, the design is woven with a finely detailed repeat of scrolling vines, petite rosettes, and botanical sprays that seem to drift across the surface. Dusty blue, ivory, teal, and charcoal accents provide gentle contrast, while the layered border framework adds structure and gives the rug a distinctly architectural finish.

From a distance, the pattern resolves into a soft, textured haze; up close, its drawing reveals the precision associated with antique Tabriz rugs. The result is a piece that brings quiet ornament to formal living rooms, libraries, and transitional interiors, offering the kind of subdued elegance that settles naturally into collected spaces.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
