Tabriz Persian Antique Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB7159 11'0" × 13'4" $80,000

This circa 1920 Persian Tabriz carpet is a hand-knotted wool antique from northwestern Iran, woven in the celebrated Tabriz tradition. Its soft beige field is animated by a disciplined allover floral repeat, giving the rug a poised, formal presence while keeping the overall effect light and approachable.

Across the field, scrolling vinery, small blossoms, and foliate forms move within a subtle trellis, creating steady rhythm rather than a single central medallion. Navy blue and muted light blue accents outline the pattern with just enough contrast to sharpen the drawing, while taupe and cream soften the composition and enhance its antique patina.

A substantial floral border frames the carpet with architectural clarity, reinforcing the symmetry of the layout and lending the piece a tailored finish. The restrained palette and precise weaving make it especially effective in traditional, transitional, or layered contemporary interiors that call for pattern with quiet refinement.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
