Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB4818 10'5" × 14'1" $65,000

This exquisite 19th-century Persian Tabriz rug (circa 1880) is a masterclass in elegance, refinement, and artistic sophistication. Woven in one of Persia’s most celebrated weaving centers, this antique rug embodies the finesse and intricacy for which Tabriz carpets are renowned.

The field displays a gracefully interlaced network of delicate floral vines, palmettes, and stylized blossoms set against a soft ivory ground. The muted palette of sandy beige, terracotta, russet, cocoa brown, and hints of faded coral lends the composition an ethereal, time-softened beauty, while still retaining striking contrast and movement. The design evokes the imagery of a lush Persian garden, with flowing tendrils and flowering branches unfolding in perfect symmetry.

A series of finely detailed borders frames the central field, featuring scrolling arabesques, rosettes, and botanical motifs executed with meticulous precision. The broad main border is anchored by floral cartouches, seamlessly balanced by narrower guard borders, creating a harmonious rhythm across the entire composition.

Woven from high-quality wool on a cotton foundation, this Tabriz rug exhibits the exceptional craftsmanship of late 19th-century Persian weaving. The tight weave, controlled pattern execution, and carefully nuanced color palette demonstrate the influence of master weavers of the Tabriz tradition, who often drew upon both classical Persian motifs and Western artistic sensibilities to appeal to global connoisseurs.

With its large-scale format and dignified yet understated elegance, this antique Persian Tabriz rug is not only a functional floor covering but also a collectible piece of art, capable of transforming interiors with its timeless sophistication.
