Antique Persian Allover Geometric Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8568 13'1" × 21'3" $140,000

Hand-knotted in Persia around 1900, this antique Bakhtiari rug brings the character of a village weaving tradition into a grand-format format with a remarkably open, allover geometric scheme. Its cream beige ground softens the composition, while the drawing remains crisp and purposeful.

The field is organized as a hexagonal lattice of linked compartments, each one enclosing a compact floral-geometric emblem that feels both tribal and architectural. Brick red, terracotta, brown, ivory, and touches of slate blue give the rug depth and movement, while the rustic drawing preserves the lively irregularity prized in antique Persian rugs.

A series of borders frames the center with rosettes, diamond repeats, and stepped motifs, creating a strong visual cadence from edge to edge. The result is a carpet with warmth, texture, and clear structure, well suited to interiors that need an antique geometric rug with presence and ease.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
