Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1930 BB7783 4'0" × 5'6" $14,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1930, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northwestern Persia in hand-knotted wool. Its compact scale and prayer-niche composition give it the presence of a collectible small antique rug with an especially graceful silhouette.

At the center, a flowering tree of life rises within a softly arched soft beige field, its slender branches unfolding in calm symmetry. Delicate blossoms, vine tendrils, and restrained touches of blue animate the surface, while warm brown and camel tones keep the drawing crisp and balanced. The effect is lyrical rather than dense, with each floral detail placed to support the vertical rhythm of the design.

A layered border completes the composition with architectural clarity: a dark reciprocal leaf band frames the field, while floral guards and pale accents soften the edge. This antique Tabriz Persian carpet brings together botanical ornament, measured structure, and understated color, making it well suited to formal seating areas, studies, and interiors that call for quiet distinction.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets.
