Antique Persian Allover Geometric Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB9051 12'2" × 12'8" $48,000

This antique Persian Hamadan rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the village-weaving tradition of western Persia in hand-knotted wool. Its square format and understated palette give it a measured, architectural presence that suits both formal rooms and layered interiors.

The cream beige field is covered with a fine allover trellis of small geometric-floral repeats, creating a dense, even rhythm rather than a single focal medallion. That quiet repeat is framed by a stronger border system, where deep navy and dusty blue bands introduce contrast and help define the composition.

Seen from across the room, the design reads as texture and structure first, ornament second. Earthy brown notes, ivory highlights, and softened blue accents lend the rug a timeworn character, while the hand-knotted construction preserves the crisp logic of its antique Persian patterning.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
