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

Elegantly understated and masterfully executed, this antique Persian Tabriz rug from the 1930s offers a striking interpretation of the classic all-over floral design, rendered in a sophisticated and rare color palette. Hand-knotted in one of Persia’s most revered weaving centers, this piece exemplifies the refined artistry and technical precision that has come to define Tabriz craftsmanship.

The rug’s field showcases an exquisite lattice of finely drawn, scrolling vines with an abundance of palmettes, rosettes, and stylized florals—each delicately outlined to create a sense of movement and balance. A soothing celadon-blue ground sets the stage for a harmonious range of muted earth tones, including soft taupe, golden sand, mocha, and subtle plum accents, evoking the graceful patina of time.

Framed by a series of meticulously detailed borders, the central design is further elevated by the interplay of scale and rhythm. The main border, with its trailing floral and leaf motifs, echoes the organic theme of the field, while the minor guard borders add a sense of structure without disrupting the overall fluidity of the composition.

Woven with a tight knot count and composed of high-quality wool, the rug possesses both durability and a supple handle. Its understated palette and elegant botanical motifs make it ideally suited for a range of interiors—from traditional to transitional and even modern spaces seeking a touch of old-world refinement.

This Tabriz rug from Doris Leslie Blau is more than a decorative object; it is a testament to a centuries-old tradition of excellence, embodying a quiet luxury that only antique Persian rugs can offer.
