Antique Persian Allover Floral Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7309 11'0" × 17'9" $95,000

This antique Persian Bidjar rug, woven around 1900, reflects the disciplined weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Hand-knotted in the Bidjar manner, it balances formal structure with a softened, timeworn surface that gives the piece its quiet depth and collector appeal.

The design unfolds as an allover floral-medallion field, with repeated stylized blossoms and scrolling vine work arranged in a measured lattice. Large, rounded motifs in faded cream and brown sit against a warm caramel ground, while touches of blue and slate enliven the composition without breaking its mellow tone. A broad rust border and narrow floral guards provide strong visual framing.

Its dense weave and composed pattern create the kind of presence designers value in rooms that call for warmth, texture, and tradition. Equally suited to classic, transitional, and Arts and Crafts interiors, this antique Persian floral rug offers the durability of Bidjar craftsmanship with the softer coloration that comes from age and careful wear.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
