Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB6608 8'10" × 11'1" $17,000

This early-20th-century Persian Tabriz carpet, woven circa 1920 in the northwestern Persian workshop tradition, presents an allover floral design in hand-knotted wool. Its balanced composition and softened palette give it the quiet authority associated with fine antique Tabriz rugs.

The warm tan ground is mellowed by age, allowing the repeated paisley-like floral units to drift across the surface with a steady, rhythmic cadence. Slender scrolling stems, palmettes, and trellis-like links create a layered pattern that feels decorative yet restrained, while deeper brown outlines lend definition without disturbing the rug’s gentle tonal harmony.

A formal border system frames the field with nested floral and palmette bands that echo the interior drawing and give the carpet architectural clarity. The result is an antique Persian rug with an understated presence: refined, versatile, and well suited to interiors that call for warmth, pattern, and historical depth without visual heaviness.

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.
