Antique Khorassan Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB4634 11'8" × 16'0" $80,000

Woven in Persia circa 1900, this antique Khorassan rug reflects the refined floral weaving tradition of northeastern Iran. Hand-knotted in wool, it combines formal elegance with the mellow character of age, creating a carpet that feels collected rather than ornate.

The soft beige field is arranged in an allover pattern of oval cartouches, floral medallions, and scrolling foliate vines. Faded indigo-blue and muted terracotta accents drift through the composition, giving the design a weathered depth and a quietly layered surface. The repetition is orderly, yet never rigid, which lends the rug a graceful sense of movement.

A broad border frames the interior with stylized blossoms and vinery, visible but softened by time into a gentle outline. That understated contrast makes the piece especially versatile for interiors that call for antique Persian character, whether layered into a traditional room or used to temper a more contemporary setting with warmth and pattern.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
