Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1870 BB6898 6'2" × 7'10" $48,000

Steeped in history and masterful craftsmanship, this 19th-century Persian Tabriz rug exemplifies the refined artistry for which the region is celebrated. Woven circa 1870, this antique piece displays a striking balance between formal structure and organic elegance, hallmark traits of the finest Tabriz weaving traditions.

At the heart of the composition lies an elaborate symmetrical layout of blossoming vines and palmettes, rendered in a rich yet understated palette. Creamy parchment tones form the background, offering an elegant contrast to the warm terracotta, inky navy, muted teal, and soft celadon that define the intricate floral motifs. The delicate vinework unfurls with lyrical precision, creating an overall design that is both stately and serene.

The main border, executed in a deep indigo, hosts an ornate procession of stylized flowers and leafy tendrils, framed by multiple minor guard borders in complementary tones. The drawing is meticulous, with fine linework and subtle color shifts that attest to the high knot density and skill of the weavers.

Crafted from high-quality wool and aged to a soft patina, the rug retains much of its original vitality while bearing the graceful signs of time. Its relatively compact size makes it an ideal accent for sophisticated interiors, whether traditional or contemporary.

This antique Tabriz is more than a decorative element—it is a testament to the enduring legacy of Persian rug artistry, offering both visual harmony and historical depth.
