Tabriz Persian Antique Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6467 8'4" × 11'9" $30,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, dating to circa 1920, reflects the refined urban weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it pairs a formal medallion layout with an allover floral field, and the Tabriz name signals one of the region’s most accomplished carpet centers.

A soft beige ground sets the tone, while faded blue, dusty teal, warm brown, ivory, and charcoal motifs drift across the surface. The central crest is surrounded by scrolling vines, blossoms, and foliate sprays, with small animal figures and birds tucked into the drawing for unexpected narrative detail. The worn coloration softens the contrasts and gives the composition an antique, almost painted quality.

Dark outlining and reserve-panel borders anchor the design, adding structure to the densely worked field. The result is a Persian antique rug with depth, texture, and restrained formality—well suited to traditional rooms, transitional interiors, or any space that benefits from historic character without heavy visual weight.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
