Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6623 8'10" × 12'7" $38,000

This exquisite antique Persian Tabriz rug, dating back to the 1920s, beautifully reflects the artistry and refinement for which Tabriz weavings are celebrated. Woven in one of Persia’s most renowned weaving centers, the rug boasts a finely executed allover floral design rendered in a soft, time-muted palette.

At its heart, the composition is organized around symmetrical rosettes and stylized blossoms, each connected by elegant vinery that spreads outward in graceful, rhythmic balance. The floral motifs—ranging from delicate palmettes and rosettes to intricate leafy tendrils—create a tapestry-like effect that conveys both movement and harmony.

The color palette is especially captivating, showcasing a range of soft earth tones—warm terracotta, faded rust, muted ochre, gentle ivory, and subtle slate blue accents—all mellowed by age into a beautifully patinated surface. This natural abrash adds depth and dimension, enhancing the rug’s sense of history and authenticity.

Framing the field, the rug’s ornamental borders feature a series of floral cartouches and scrolling vine patterns, executed with precision yet softened by the aged wool. The layering of borders provides both definition and grandeur, balancing the intricate central field with a stately frame.

Hand-knotted with fine wool, this Tabriz demonstrates the exceptional craftsmanship and high knot density characteristic of the region. The rug’s overall composition, balanced geometry, and subtle tonal shifts reflect not only Persian aesthetic traditions but also the Tabriz workshop’s emphasis on precision and artistry.

With its refined floral lattice, versatile palette, and graceful age patina, this antique Persian Tabriz rug would lend a sense of timeless elegance and sophistication to both traditional and modern interiors.
