Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Rug In Warm Tan, Hand-Knotted Wool – Circa 1930 BB7192 13'0" × 19'4" $130,000

This exquisite antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven in the early 20th century, exemplifies the sophistication and refinement for which the workshops of Tabriz are renowned. The rug’s expansive field is adorned with an elaborate botanical design, harmoniously blending stylized blossoms, palmettes, and scrolling vinery into a seamless allover pattern.

The color palette is a study in elegance and subtlety. Soft rose and dusty blush tones dominate the background, providing a warm, time-mellowed foundation for the delicate motifs. Accents of powder blue, ivory, camel, and muted charcoal enrich the composition, lending depth and gentle contrast without disrupting the rug’s overall serenity. The interplay of these shades reflects the antique patina developed over more than a century, giving the rug a luminous, painterly quality.

Framing the central field is a series of ornate borders, each filled with floral sprays and medallions, creating a sense of rhythm and continuity. The inner and outer guard borders echo the botanical theme, while the wider main border presents grand elliptical cartouches and floral medallions, carefully balanced to enhance the rug’s monumental scale.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this rug demonstrates the exceptional artistry of Tabriz weavers, who were known for translating classical Persian aesthetics into highly sophisticated works of decorative art. Its fine weave and graceful design speak to both its decorative and historical importance, making it not only a luxurious furnishing but also a collectible piece of Persian weaving heritage.

Ideal for a grand interior, this antique Persian Tabriz rug offers timeless beauty and an enduring connection to the artistry of 19th/early 20th-century Persia.
