Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB0368 9'9" × 12'7" $20,000

Antique Persian Tabriz rug, circa 1920, woven in one of northwestern Persia’s most admired weaving centers, known for its poised floral carpets and disciplined drawing. This example reflects that tradition in a soft, understated register that feels both historic and quietly versatile.

The field is a warm soft beige, animated by an allover repeat of interlacing vines, stylized blossoms, palmette-like forms, and trellis-like movement. Rather than a dominant medallion, the composition unfolds evenly across the surface, creating a calm, continuous rhythm. Low-contrast ivory, taupe, and light brown details preserve the rug’s airy character while allowing the floral pattern to emerge gradually.

A well-defined multi-border system completes the design, with scrolling flowers and petite cartouche motifs that frame the center without interrupting its flow. The result is a balanced Persian antique rug with formal elegance and broad interior appeal, equally suited to layered traditional rooms or more restrained contemporary settings. Its hand-knotted character and finely resolved ornament speak to Tabriz’s enduring reputation for refinement.

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.
