Khorassan Persian Antique Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7277 10'0" × 13'7" $22,000

This exceptional early 20th-century Persian Khorassan rug exemplifies the refined artistry and opulence for which the Khorassan weaving tradition is renowned. Hand-knotted circa 1900, the rug features a densely patterned field teeming with scrolling vines, palmettes, and stylized floral motifs — all woven with remarkable precision in a sophisticated palette of warm camel, soft taupe, muted blues, and deep midnight navy.

At the heart of the design lies a symmetrical, medallion-like flourish of foliage that radiates outward into an intricate network of intertwining stems and blossoms, evoking a sense of movement and organic flow. The background’s soft abrashed tones lend the rug depth and a subtle, painterly quality. This variation in hue is a hallmark of naturally dyed antique rugs and adds character and authenticity.

Framing the composition is a robust border composed of several concentric bands. The main border, distinguished by a saturated navy ground, showcases a repeating rosette and leafy vine motif, echoing the theme of flourishing abundance. It is flanked by narrower guard borders that complement the overall design with delicate floral tracery in lighter tones.

The wool pile retains its suppleness and sheen, evidencing the high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship typical of antique Khorassan carpets. Though well over a century old, this piece remains in beautiful condition and would elevate any interior — whether traditional or modern — with a sense of timeless Persian elegance.
