Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Teal Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB3256 12'6" × 17'7" $95,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the refined floral weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it presents the formal elegance for which Tabriz carpets are prized, with a dense allover layout that feels balanced, considered, and quietly authoritative.

The field is set against a deep teal ground and filled with interlacing vines, rosettes, palmettes, and stylized blossoms that build a layered botanical surface. A restrained medallion-like crest emerges within the composition, while the warm tan and muted gold accents soften the darker background and lend the design a luminous, timeworn character. The border is equally resolved, with a busy floral main band and fine guards that frame the interior with precision.

Its interplay of earthy warmth and cool depth gives this antique Tabriz carpet remarkable versatility, allowing it to anchor both traditional rooms and more contemporary interiors. The result is a Persian rug with presence, texture, and enduring decorative value.
