Antique Khorassan Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB9023 14'7" × 19'8" $130,000

This antique Persian Khorassan rug from the 1920s exudes an air of refined sophistication through its delicately time-softened palette and intricate botanical motifs. The field is awash in a misty powder blue that provides a tranquil backdrop for scrolling vinery and floral medallions rendered in gentle blush pinks, muted rose, and faded ivory. Touches of sandy beige and soft cocoa lend quiet depth to the pattern, while the wide border frames the composition with arabesques, rosettes, and the signature Khorassan “sunburst” medallions in warm taupe and brown.

Hand-knotted in lustrous wool, the rug’s subtle abrash and patina enhance its romantic, painterly quality. The interplay of pale sky blues, antique cream, and whispery rose evokes the elegance of Persian garden carpets while maintaining a light, airy presence—perfect for both traditional and contemporary interiors seeking a graceful antique statement.

This rug from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a collectible statement of refined taste and exceptional craftsmanship—it is also a rare survival of the modernist movement as interpreted through Persian textile tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
