Tabriz Persian Antique Medallion Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8863 11'0" × 18'0" $38,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, circa 1900, reflects the refined urban weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it shows the disciplined symmetry and finely drawn ornament for which antique Tabriz carpets are prized.

A warm tan field is organized around a large stepped medallion with cusped outlines and an intricate floral core, while the surrounding space is filled with staggered boteh-like motifs that lend the composition a subtle allover rhythm. The corners and spandrels are similarly worked, giving the design a layered, architectural quality.

A border of scrolling palmettes and foliate vines frames the composition in soft beige, taupe, and brown, with faint rust accents adding depth without disturbing the calm palette. Elegant yet restrained, this Persian medallion rug brings warmth and structure to formal interiors, traditional rooms, or a curated contemporary setting.

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.
