Antique Khorassan Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB1719 10'2" × 16'7" $24,000

This antique Persian Khorassan rug from Iran is hand-knotted in a refined floral tradition, offering the kind of quiet formality long valued in traditional interiors. Its warm tan ground gives the design a soft, settled presence, while the dense allover composition keeps the surface visually active from edge to edge.

Rather than a central medallion, the field unfolds as a continuous trellis of scrolling vines, blossoms, and leafy sprays arranged in a balanced repeat. Small navy blue accents and dark brown outlining bring definition to the botanical forms, lending contrast without disturbing the rug’s mellow, time-softened palette. The pattern feels intricate yet orderly, with enough movement to animate a room while still reading as composed and architectural.

A dark border frames the composition with greater depth and emphasis, surrounding the lighter field like a formal enclosure. The result is a Persian antique rug that works beautifully in collected, transitional, or classical settings, where its floral rhythm and restrained coloration can anchor furnishings with understated elegance.

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.
