Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7626 6'3" × 8'9" $20,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug is hand-knotted in wool and reflects the celebrated weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Its classic central-medallion layout is framed by layered borders, giving the composition a formal balance that feels both refined and enduring.

The design is anchored by a warm tan medallion set against a deep chocolate-brown field, with scrolling floral and foliate ornament radiating around it. Scalloped outlines, palmettes, and small rosettes lend the rug a richly worked surface, while the surrounding border system reinforces its architectural clarity. The result is a traditional Persian carpet with presence, yet no excess.

Earthy tones define the palette: warm tan, beige, taupe, brown, and muted rust accents soften the darker ground and bring depth to the drawing. This restrained coloration allows the intricate ornament to read clearly, making the rug an elegant choice for interiors that call for antique character, pattern, and a grounded, collected atmosphere.

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. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
