Antique Khorassan Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB4284 9'10" × 15'3" $43,000

This antique Persian Khorassan rug from the early 1900s embodies the refined artistry for which the workshops of northeastern Persia were celebrated. Handwoven with exceptional precision, the rug displays a delicate allover botanical design set against a rare soft slate-blue ground that has gracefully mellowed with age.

The field is richly adorned with an abundance of floral sprays, leafy tendrils, and blossoming shrubs, arranged with a painterly sense of balance and movement. The palette blends powdery blues, warm sand, golden wheat, earthy browns, and gentle touches of terracotta, creating an understated harmony that feels both elegant and organic.

Framing the composition is a broad border of scrolling vines and stylized palmettes, drawn in complementary tones that heighten the rug’s classical character. The weave is fine and supple, a testament to the master craftsmanship of Khorassan weavers, whose work was prized for its artistry and durability.

Over more than a century, this rug has developed a beautiful patina, with softened colors and subtle abrash that enhance its depth and character. The overall impression is one of timeless sophistication—a rare antique that marries decorative beauty with historic authenticity.
