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

Hand-knotted in Tabriz, Persia, circa 1880, this antique wool carpet reflects the cultivated weaving tradition for which the city is celebrated.

Its warm tan field is organized into an allover floral trellis, with navy vines and blossoms crossing the surface in a measured, lattice-like repeat. The design feels orderly but never rigid: blossoms open and dissolve into foliate tendrils, while the gently worn pile softens the geometry and gives the pattern a painterly depth. Repeating oval reserves and scrolling leaves keep the composition lively without disturbing its calm, architectural balance.

A narrow border frames the field with stylized rosettes and vine scrolls, quietly reinforcing the botanical theme. The restrained palette of light beige, warm tan, and navy blue allows the rug to read as both formal and relaxed, making it especially suited to traditional rooms, transitional spaces, and interiors that favor layered texture over bold contrast. Its time-softened surface lends warmth and character without losing the refinement of an antique Persian Tabriz.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
