Antique Khorassan Persian Allover Floral Oversized Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1910 (Size Adjusted) BB7883 15'1" × 29'4" $200,000

Antique Persian Khorassan rug, circa 1910, hand-knotted in the weaving traditions of northeastern Iran, presents the elegant scale and refinement associated with the region’s early 20th-century carpets. This oversized piece reads as a formal room anchor with distinctive historic character.

Its warm tan field is filled with an allover floral network of flowering shrubs, palmettes, and vine-scrolls that unfold in a softened medallion axis rather than a hard central emblem. The pattern is fluid and closely worked, giving the surface a graceful rhythm while preserving the balanced symmetry prized in classic Persian design.

Muted brown, light beige, warm taupe, and subtle blue-green accents create a mellow palette that feels aged and collected, not abrupt. A more pronounced border system frames the composition with additional floral detail and quiet contrast. Woven in wool, this antique Khorassan carpet brings tradition, warmth, and a layered sense of pattern to formal seating areas and sophisticated transitional interiors.

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.
