Antique Khorassan Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB4634 11'8" × 16'0" $80,000

This grand antique Persian Khorassan rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the refined artistry of one of Persia’s most celebrated weaving centers. Khorassan rugs are renowned for their delicate drawing, intricate detail, and sophisticated sense of balance, all of which are beautifully expressed in this piece.

The spacious field displays an elegant allover lattice of cartouches and floral medallions, gracefully entwined with arabesque scrollwork, palmettes, and rosettes. Rendered in a soft palette of muted terracotta, faded indigo, and gentle ivory, the design achieves a timeless harmony — its worn patina only adding to the rug’s antique character and understated elegance.

Framed by a wide border adorned with stylized floral garlands and vinery, the carpet embodies the Khorassan tradition of combining lush botanical motifs with a sense of openness and grace. The artistry of the drawing is enhanced by the fineness of the weave, a hallmark of Khorassan craftsmanship, which gives the design a crisp and almost lace-like refinement.

Hand-knotted in wool, this carpet exemplifies the durability and elegance for which Khorassan rugs are prized. Its majestic scale and subtle tones make it a versatile centerpiece, equally suited to classic or contemporary interiors seeking authenticity and grandeur.
