Antique Persian Floral Allover Oversized Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7119 14'0" × 22'10" $140,000

Antique Persian hand-knotted wool rug, circa 1900, woven in the formal Persian tradition and scaled as an oversized floor covering. Its composition is organized yet relaxed, with the kind of balanced symmetry that has long made early-20th-century Persian carpets so appealing in refined interiors.

The design centers on an allover trellis of scalloped, cartouche-like medallions repeated in staggered rows across a soft beige field. Deep navy and slate blue outlines give the pattern definition, while ivory, pale blue, and tan floral infill soften the geometry. A layered border hierarchy frames the field with slender botanical detail, and the gentle wear gives the motif a painterly, slightly faded character.

That combination of structure and softness allows the rug to read formally without feeling rigid. The hand-knotted wool surface adds warmth and texture, while the subdued palette makes it easy to place beneath traditional furnishings or as a calm counterpoint in a more contemporary room. It is a classic antique Persian floral rug with enduring decorative appeal.
