Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7724 11'8" × 19'9" $95,000

This magnificent antique Persian Tabriz rug, handwoven in the early 1900s, is a masterful example of the artistry and refinement for which Tabriz weavers are celebrated. The carpet balances grandeur with intricate detail, making it suitable for both stately interiors and refined contemporary spaces.

The field displays a beautifully orchestrated allover floral design, where scrolling vines unfurl into stylized palmettes, rosettes, and blossoms in rhythmic symmetry. Delicate tendrils connect the motifs seamlessly, producing a flowing garden-like composition that exudes harmony and grace. The palette is composed of muted earthy tones—soft camel, warm beige, dusty rose, pale celadon, and midnight blue—imbued with a gentle patina that only time can impart.

The borders frame the composition with regal strength. A wide navy-blue main border features bold palmettes and floral sprays, elegantly outlined in lighter tones, while the narrower guard borders carry meandering floral patterns that provide balance and refinement.

Woven in fine wool on a cotton foundation, the rug exemplifies the technical sophistication of Tabriz craftsmanship, with precise knotting that allows for fluid, curvilinear drawing and subtle shading. Its condition reflects its age, with a gentle wear that enhances the carpet’s antique character and authenticity.

This antique Tabriz is more than a decorative piece—it is a woven manuscript of Persian artistic tradition. Its monumental scale, balanced design, and nuanced colors make it a rare and highly collectible treasure that will elevate any interior with timeless elegance.
