Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1930 BB7342 8'8" × 12'1" $38,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1930 in one of northwestern Persia’s most esteemed carpet centers, expresses the refined balance for which Tabriz weaving is prized. Hand-knotted in a formal room-size format, it translates a classic floral tradition into a composition of exceptional clarity and poise.

A softly faded pale blue ground is filled with scrolling vines, blossom sprays, rosettes, and palmettes that rise in near-symmetrical order, creating the effect of a flowering tree without becoming rigid. Warm tan and muted gold outlines keep the pattern legible, while touches of brown, taupe, and dark plum deepen the surface and give the rug its aged, collected character. The wool pile adds a soft, tactile finish.

The border hierarchy is equally disciplined, with a busy floral main band and fine guard stripes that frame the field architecturally. Elegant yet easy to place, this antique Tabriz rug brings quiet formality to traditional seating, a dining room, or a transitional interior in need of a tailored decorative layer.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
