Antique Khorassan Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB9023 14'7" × 19'8" $130,000

This antique Persian Khorassan rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1920, reflects the elegant weaving tradition of northeastern Persia. Its soft beige ground is washed with misty powder blue, creating a calm, diffused field that feels airy rather than formal, while faint taupe, brown, and pale rose accents lend the surface gentle depth.

Rather than a rigid central medallion, the composition settles into an allover floral rhythm, with small boteh-like blossoms, rosettes, and scrolling foliate forms dispersed across the field. A layered border system provides structure, including a wider outer band marked by sunburst medallions and restrained arabesque details that frame the design beautifully.

The result is an antique Persian Khorassan rug with a quiet, atmospheric presence, well suited to formal and transitional interiors that call for heritage character without visual weight. Its time-softened palette and low-contrast pattern allow it to anchor seating areas, dining rooms, or studies with understated refinement.

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.
