Antique Khorassan Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7514 11'6" × 15'4" $39,000

This antique Persian Khorassan rug, circa 1920, reflects the graceful weaving traditions of northeastern Persia in a hand-knotted wool composition. Its warm tan ground sets a calm, time-softened stage for an allover floral layout, giving the piece the poised character of a formal room rug with enduring decorative versatility.

The field is organized as a dense trellis of scrolling blossoms, boteh-like figures, and small medallion forms, repeated in steady horizontal bands that create rhythm without a single dominant center. Dusty rose accents, soft beige highlights, sage-green vines, and deeper brown outlines lend definition while preserving the rug’s mellow, aged harmony.

A substantial floral border frames the composition with a more traditional Persian cadence, adding structure to the finely detailed interior. Elegant yet restrained, this antique Khorassan carpet works beautifully beneath classic furnishings, where its layered pattern and muted palette can anchor a room with quiet sophistication.

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