Antique Khorassan Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6826 11'4" × 16'6" $90,000

This exquisite 1920s Persian Khorassan rug exemplifies the artistry and refinement for which Khorassan weavers are renowned. Handwoven in the northeastern region of Iran, the piece displays a beautifully time-softened palette of powder blue, sandy beige, ivory, and chestnut brown, creating a sense of elegance and harmony.

The rug’s all-over floral design is masterfully executed, featuring scrolling vinery, palmettes, and stylized blossoms that intertwine across the field in a symmetrical yet fluid composition. The central medallion is subtly suggested rather than overtly pronounced, allowing the eye to wander seamlessly through the intricate floral motifs.

Its wide border, enriched with repeating floral rosettes and leafy tendrils, frames the composition with balance and depth, while the muted tones contribute to an understated sophistication. The abrash visible throughout the field speaks to the natural dyes and the passage of time, enhancing the rug’s antique charm.

This rug is of palatial scale, making it ideal for a grand interior. The fine wool pile, supple handle, and delicate yet durable weave testify to the high craftsmanship of early 20th-century Khorassan workshops, which were celebrated for producing rugs of both durability and artistic finesse.

This antique Khorassan rug is not only a decorative treasure but also a collectible textile, embodying nearly a century of history while remaining versatile enough to complement both classical and contemporary interiors.
