Tabriz Persian Antique Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB8562 12'8" × 21'5" $130,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, circa 1880, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northwestern Persia in a hand-knotted wool format. Its warm tan field is worked in a dense, finely scaled allover composition that reads with remarkable balance and quiet formality.

The design combines scrolling vines, petite blossoms, and foliate detailing with a repeating medallion-and-crest rhythm that gives the surface a measured architectural order. Deep teal and muted indigo accents emerge throughout the floral ground and along the border, where a broader frame of botanical ornament provides a crisp visual edge against the softened beige and taupe palette.

Age has mellowed the colors into a gentle patina, lending the rug a lived-in softness that enhances rather than diminishes its intricacy. Elegant yet restrained, this antique Tabriz floral rug suits traditional rooms as naturally as transitional interiors, where its layered pattern and warm, grounded coloration can anchor furnishings without overwhelming them.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
