Khorassan Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7469 11'9" × 18'10" $100,000

This antique Persian Khorassan rug, woven circa 1880, exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and timeless elegance of late 19th-century Persian weaving. The carpet showcases a classic allover botanical design, rendered with extraordinary attention to detail and balance. A lush network of palmettes, stylized rosettes, and scrolling vinery gracefully unfolds across the field, creating a rhythmic, garden-like composition that evokes the essence of Persian artistry.

Set against a rich sapphire blue field, the delicate floral motifs are beautifully articulated in warm sand, soft taupe, earthy brown, and powdery blue tones. The color palette is subtly faded, lending the piece a gentle patina that enhances its antique character.

Framing the composition is a broad border of scrolling palmettes and lotus blossoms, flanked by elegant guard stripes with rosette and vine patterns that echo the motifs of the main field. The interplay between intricate drawing and balanced spacing offers a sense of depth and serenity, hallmarks of high-quality Khorassan weaving.

Hand-knotted in wool of exceptional quality, this rug possesses both durability and sophistication. With its generous proportions and harmonious design, it would make a commanding yet elegant statement in any grand interior.
