About the Item
Oversized Antique Persian Tabriz Rug
Size: 14'10" × 20'8" (452 × 629 cm)
This magnificent oversized Persian Tabriz rug, dating to the late 19th century, is an extraordinary representation of the sophisticated artistry and weaving tradition of Tabriz, one of Iran’s oldest and most prestigious carpet weaving centers.
The rug’s aristocratic presence is established through its finely executed all-over design, structured in a harmonious symmetrical layout that showcases masterful drawing and balance. At the heart of the field lies a succession of elaborate rosette medallions and floral palmettes, surrounded by an intricate network of stylized vines and leafy scrolls, all seamlessly repeated across the vast surface. The field’s rich navy blue ground provides a dramatic backdrop for the lighter brick, ivory, sky blue, pistachio green, camel, and salmon tones of the motifs.
A standout detail of this rug is the articulated border composition—a wide primary border framed by multiple guards. The main border is adorned with recurring botanical medallions and angular vinery, set against a delicate celadon green background with coral and rust accents. These motifs are echoed throughout the field, reinforcing a sense of cohesion and rhythm.
Notably, the palette—seen clearly in the detailed images and color comparisons—leans into earthy and natural dyes, with an emphasis on warm rust, cool teal, faded turquoise, olive, beige, and charcoal outlines, which have softened beautifully with age, creating a mature and patinated aesthetic.
This piece was hand-knotted using high-quality wool, typical of the Tabriz tradition, which combines durability with refined craftsmanship. The intricate weaving and the high knot density reflect the skill of the artisans and the demands of elite clientele during the Qajar dynasty period.
Whether used as a centerpiece in a grand interior or collected for its historical value, this oversized Persian Tabriz embodies timeless elegance and Old World luxury, offering not only decorative beauty but also a legacy of Persian textile mastery.
This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
