Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7124 11'2" × 14'0" $73,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven in northwestern Persia in the 19th century, reflects the city’s refined floral weaving tradition in a format prized by collectors and designers alike.

The soft beige field is filled with an allover garden of blossoms, curling vines, and leafy sprays, creating a dense but orderly surface that reads with a calm, decorative softness. Rather than a strict central medallion, the composition settles into a subtly open center, so the floral repeat can unfold across the field with natural rhythm. Dusty pink, pale rose, muted blue, olive, and touches of navy give the design gentle depth and a light, painterly character.

A saturated blue main border, worked with scrolling flowers and smaller guard bands, frames the composition with crisp contrast and keeps the lighter ground visually anchored. With its hand-knotted wool construction and Arts and Crafts sensibility, this antique Tabriz brings understated richness to formal living rooms, dining spaces, and layered transitional interiors.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
