Antique Persian Floral Allover Brick Red Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6955 6'7" × 13'0" $32,000

This antique Persian Feraghan rug, woven circa 1920, reflects the refined village weaving tradition of northwestern Persia in a formal allover composition.

A deep brick-red field provides the backdrop for a dense array of stylized botehs, angular floral sprays, rosettes, and small animalia motifs, giving the surface a lively, almost narrative rhythm. The design suggests a soft central medallion while remaining resolutely allover, with repeating tree-like and figural elements that add a folkloric note. Navy blue, sage green, warm tan, and pale ivory accents sharpen the pattern and keep the composition visually animated against the rich ground.

A layered border system frames the field with alternating floral and geometric bands, including a light green outer surround that lends contrast and airiness to the otherwise saturated palette. Hand-knotted in wool, this Feraghan carpet has the depth, texture, and antique character prized in Persian rugs, making it especially well suited to interiors that call for warmth, movement, and a collected sense of history.
