Antique Khorassan Persian Floral Allover Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7750 15'2" × 20'4" $105,000

This antique Persian Khorassan rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1920, reflects the refined carpet tradition of northeastern Iran in an oversized format suited to substantial interiors. Its time-softened surface gives the design an understated elegance that feels both collected and quietly formal.

The composition is built on a warm taupe field animated by an allover floral and foliate repeat, where scrolling vines, small blossoms, palmette forms, and a subdued medallion crest unfold in balanced symmetry. Rather than relying on sharp contrast, the pattern layers dusty blue, light beige, soft gray, and brown into a nuanced, antique palette that creates depth without heaviness. A clear border hierarchy frames the field with classic Persian confidence.

Because the ornament is finely dispersed across the surface, the rug offers visual movement while remaining calm and adaptable. Its hand-knotted wool construction adds texture and durability, while the aged finish softens the details for an inviting, lived-in presence. Ideal for spaces that call for heritage character, this Khorassan Persian rug bridges traditional floral design and a relaxed, decorative sensibility.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
