Antique Khorassan Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7514 11'6" × 15'4" $39,000

A stately antique Persian Khorassan rug dating back to circa 1920. This exceptional piece features a richly detailed all-over field design composed of repeated floral medallions, stylized paisley botehs, and delicate vase motifs. Rendered in a sophisticated palette of dusty rose, soft beige, walnut brown, and subtle coral, the composition achieves a remarkable balance between visual richness and harmonious restraint.

The central field is framed by a series of intricate borders: a broad main border adorned with a sinuous vine and rosette pattern, flanked by multiple guard stripes exhibiting continuous floral and geometric ornamentation. The interplay of rhythmic motifs and refined color variation evokes the elegance of classical Persian court aesthetics.

Hand-knotted in the Khorassan region of northeastern Persia, the rug exhibits the hallmarks of fine craftsmanship for which the area is known. The wool is supremely soft, and the weave is tight and meticulous. Its generous proportions and lyrical composition make this antique rug both a decorative statement and a testament to enduring artistry.

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.
