Antique Khorassan Persian Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8870 9'9" × 13'10" $73,000

Antique Persian Khorassan rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, this room-size carpet reflects the refined weaving tradition of northeastern Persia. Its composition is built around an allover vase-and-bloom layout, a format prized for its balance, symmetry, and enduring decorative appeal.

Against a deep navy field, scrolling stems, palmettes, and dense floral sprays rise in disciplined repeats, creating a trellis-like rhythm that feels both architectural and lush. The motifs are rendered in warm tan, ivory, and soft blue, with the lighter tones bringing definition to the field while preserving its rich, atmospheric depth.

A warm tan border frames the design with floral garlands and narrow guard stripes, reinforcing the rug’s layered structure without competing with the center. The result is a composed yet lively antique Persian rug that brings pattern, history, and understated color to formal interiors, especially when placed beneath furniture where its repeating design can be fully appreciated.

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