Antique Khorassan Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7229 13'1" × 21'10" $130,000

This antique Persian Khorassan rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northeastern Persia. Its long proportions and formal structure give it the presence of a classic room anchor while preserving the softness and detail that define fine Khorassan carpets.

The soft beige field is filled with an allover botanical design, where delicate vines, blossoms, and crest-like floral forms repeat in an orderly yet fluid rhythm. Slate blue, ivory, muted rust, and charcoal accents lend depth to the pattern, while the larger floral devices create a graceful cadence across the surface. Rather than relying on a single dominant medallion, the composition unfolds as a continuous garden of small-scale motifs.

A series of layered borders completes the design, with a wider blue guard and narrower floral bands framing the field in balanced contrast. The result is composed and quietly decorative, suited to traditional interiors, layered contemporary rooms, or any setting that benefits from a formal Persian floral rug with a softened, time-earned patina.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
