Timeless Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7526 10'10" × 14'6" $53,000

A rare and dignified example of 19th-century Persian textile artistry, this antique Tabriz carpet embodies the refined elegance for which the weavers of Tabriz are renowned. Hand-knotted circa 1880, the rug features an all-over pattern executed with masterful precision and a deep understanding of balance and symmetry.

The field is adorned with an intricate lattice of stylized floral motifs in soft apricot and tan tones against a midnight indigo ground, creating a compelling play of contrast and negative space. Rows of large palmettes, blossoming branches, and scrolling leaves unfurl in a rhythm that feels organic yet meticulously ordered. This harmony of line and motif speaks to the intellectual and aesthetic rigor of the Tabriz weaving tradition.

A complementary border, rendered in light buff and beige tones, frames the central composition with curving vine scrolls and delicate rosettes, echoing the floral narrative of the field while gently containing its energy.

Woven from fine wool and displaying a relatively low pile and crisp drawing—hallmarks of Tabriz craftsmanship—this rug is not only a decorative centerpiece but also a testament to the enduring quality and sophistication of Persian textile design. Its subdued palette and fluid botanical motifs lend it an understated grandeur, making it equally suited for classic and contemporary interiors.

This antique Tabriz carpet is an heirloom piece, capable of bringing history, artistry, and refined taste to any space it inhabits.
