About the Item
Oversized Antique Persian Tabriz Rug
Size: 15'10" × 20'9" (482 × 632 cm).
This magnificent antique Tabriz rug from the 1880s is a masterclass in Persian textile artistry, embodying the refinement, precision, and rich cultural heritage of one of Iran’s most esteemed weaving centers. Woven in the renowned city of Tabriz, this oversized piece is a testament to the city’s legacy of high craftsmanship and sophisticated design.
Rendered in a harmonious palette of soft camel, muted terracotta, pale indigo, and faded seafoam, the rug features a richly detailed allover botanical lattice design. Each section of the field is filled with an abundance of stylized palmettes, serrated leaves, blooming rosettes, and fine vinery, all interconnected by meandering vines in an intricate, almost rhythmic arrangement. The design achieves perfect balance and movement without relying on a central medallion, reflecting the artistic evolution of late 19th-century Persian carpets toward greater compositional freedom.
The wide border is a standout feature, with its tranquil sky-blue ground adorned by cartouche-like floral motifs flanked by complementary botanical guard bands. The delicacy of the inner minor borders, with their alternating floral sprays and geometric rosettes, further enhances the rug's visual depth.
Not only a decorative marvel, this Tabriz carpet also boasts impressive craftsmanship. Woven with high-quality wool on a cotton foundation, its firm weave and delicate drawing reflect the experienced hands of skilled artisans working within a distinguished workshop tradition. The condition remains sound for its age, and the soft patina gives it the charm of well-preserved antiquity.
This oversized antique rug is more than a floor covering—it is an artwork with timeless elegance and museum-worthy presence. Ideal for a grand interior space, it brings sophistication and subtle grandeur wherever it is placed.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition.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.

Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa: Early 20th Century – Size: 10 ft x 15 ft 3 in (3.05 m x 4.65 m)
Here is an exceptionally woven and deeply impressive antique Oriental rug – an antique Tabriz carpet that was woven in Persia during the first decades of the twentieth century. Characterized by an impeccable and classic composition as well as visibly meticulous weaving, this antique Tabriz carpet is an appealing and impressive example of an important style of antique Persian rug. Sublimely decorated, this elaborate antique rug from Tabriz depicts an elegant pendant-flanked medallion surrounded by layers of floral motifs and graceful floral valances that are set over the stark and inherently stylish monochromatic field. Lush spandrels embellished with graceful curved outlines, intricate floral sprays and compound boteh emblems emphasize the timeless elegance of traditional curvilinear Persian designs. The awe-inspiring main borders depict towering cypress trees and intricate floral sprays set over a warm and beautifully oxidized chestnut brown background. Exquisite guard bands adorned with reciprocating floral motifs showcase an arresting variety of superfluous floral details that add to the appeal of this supreme antique Persian rug from Tabriz.
