Antique Khorassan Persian Floral Allover Oversized Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB6588 15'10" × 24'9" $220,000

This antique Persian Khorassan rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the refined carpet tradition of northeastern Persia in an oversized, hand-knotted wool format. Its formal allover composition is built from mirrored arched medallions and crest-like floral units, creating a strong vertical rhythm that feels architectural yet graceful.

A light beige field softens the structure, while pale blue, blush pink, parchment, and warm taupe lend the drawing a delicate, painterly quality. A deep navy border frames the interior with scrolling vinework, palmettes, and stylized blossoms, adding contrast without disturbing the rug’s restrained elegance. Small-scale ornament throughout the field gives the design a measured, collected presence.

Subtle abrash enlivens the ground and underscores its age, while the wool pile and precise knotting speak to the technical confidence of Khorassan weaving. Decorative yet calm, this antique Persian floral rug brings order, color, and historical character to formal living rooms, libraries, or interiors that call for pattern with softness.

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.
