Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB0754 14'6" × 18'6" $85,000

Antique Persian Tabriz carpet, hand-knotted in Persia circa 1920, this finely worked wool piece reflects the disciplined elegance long associated with Tabriz weaving. Its composition is resolved with uncommon restraint, allowing the drawing to read as an antique court carpet rather than a single-icon medallion design.

Across the warm tan field, a dense botanical trellis unfolds in softly layered beige, taupe, and muted terracotta tones. Small floral rosettes, scrolling stems, and lattice-like repeats create a rhythmic surface that feels orderly yet fluid, while the broader border system frames the field with palmettes, blossoms, and vinework in a similarly understated register.

That low-contrast palette gives the rug a gracious patina and a quiet formality that suits both traditional and contemporary rooms. The gentle wear softens the contrasts without obscuring the detail, lending the surface a settled, collected character. It brings depth to formal living spaces, libraries, and dining rooms alike.

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.
