Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Geometric Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1940 BB8531 9'2" × 12'3" $41,000

This 1940s antique Persian Tabriz rug embodies the refined artistry and exceptional craftsmanship for which the Tabriz weaving tradition is celebrated. Woven in a harmonious palette of soft ivory, muted slate blue, and warm sand tones, the piece exudes a serene elegance, its colors gently faded with time to a beautifully understated patina.

The field is arranged in an intricate lattice of stylized floral medallions, each filled with delicate palmettes, rosettes, and leafy arabesques. Flowing vine scrolls meander gracefully between these motifs, creating a sense of movement and balance. The overall design is anchored by a wide, stately border framed with geometric floral cartouches and star-like blossoms, each outlined with crisp precision.

Executed in a fine weave typical of Tabriz workshops, the rug’s symmetry and clarity of line speak to the mastery of its makers. The soft, time-worn wool adds a velvety texture underfoot while subtly blurring the motifs, enhancing its antique charm.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
