Antique Khorassan Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6478 13'7" × 19'1" $85,000

This antique Persian Khorassan rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1920, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northeastern Persia through an allover floral composition that feels balanced, graceful, and carefully controlled.

A soft beige field provides a luminous ground for delicate botanical sprays, palmettes, and curling vines worked in dusty blue, muted brown, ivory, and taupe. Rather than relying on a central medallion, the design unfolds in a repeating rhythm, with each motif spaced to preserve clarity and give the pattern a calm, formal elegance. The result is decorative without feeling crowded, allowing the eye to move easily across the surface.

A broad floral border in warmer terracotta and rust tones frames the field and reinforces the rug’s layered architecture. Gentle abrash and softened contrasts add depth, highlighting its handwoven character. This antique Khorassan carpet brings quiet pattern and timeworn refinement to traditional, transitional, or contemporary interiors.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
