Khorassan Persian Antique Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8876 10'10" × 14'6" $70,000

This exquisite antique Persian Khorassan rug, dating back to the early 1900s, showcases the refined artistry and meticulous craftsmanship for which the Khorassan weaving tradition is celebrated. Its luminous field, rendered in a serene palette of midnight indigo, soft camel, ivory, and subtle sky-blue accents, is adorned with a lavish all-over floral pattern. Graceful palmettes, stylized blossoms, and sinuous vine scrolls unfurl symmetrically across the composition, evoking a timeless sense of balance and elegance.

The deep blue ground of the central field serves as a rich backdrop, allowing the intricate botanical motifs to bloom in delicate contrast. Surrounding the field is a series of finely drawn borders — the main border featuring a continuous flowering vine framed by multiple guard stripes filled with petite rosettes and leafy tendrils. The interplay of detailed outlines and soft abrash variations adds depth and a painterly quality to the overall design.

Handwoven from the finest wool, this rug not only embodies the luxurious texture and durability of Khorassan weavings but also tells the story of Persia’s golden age of rug-making. Its harmonious color palette and masterful drawing make it a versatile and sophisticated choice for both classic and contemporary interiors.
