About the Item
Oversized Antique Persian Tabriz Rug
Size: 14'4" × 22'4" (436 × 680 cm)
A masterwork of Persian weaving from the city of Tabriz, this oversized antique rug from circa 1900 exemplifies the grandeur and precision that define some of the most coveted rugs of the Qajar period.
At the heart of this carpet lies a diamond-shaped medallion that emerges from a subtle gradation of floral motifs and geometric patterns. This medallion is not just a focal point but a masterclass in restraint, beautifully interwoven with delicate Herati motifs and fine palmettes in soft taupe and inky charcoal. The field radiates a quiet elegance, as tiny rosettes and arabesques echo outward in a highly structured, symmetrical layout.
One of the most distinctive aspects of this rug is its exceptional use of abrash—natural variations in the vegetable-dyed wool—which imbues the muted color scheme with movement and age-worn beauty. The transition from soft sand and faded terracotta to muted slate and ivory gives the rug a painterly effect, suggesting centuries of quiet elegance.
Surrounding the central field is a wide border with scrolling vine and blossom motifs enclosed within narrower guard bands, reinforcing the sophisticated balance of scale and proportion that Tabriz weavers perfected. Look closely, and you’ll notice delicate animal figures and cloudbands subtly integrated into the motifs—hallmarks of the best Tabriz craftsmanship.
Woven by hand using high-knot-density wool, this piece is not only a decorative statement but also a durable textile. Despite its over-century age, the rug maintains a remarkable condition that reflects both the quality of its materials and the skill of its maker.
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.
