Khorassan Persian Antique Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8876 10'10" × 14'6" $70,000

This antique Persian Khorassan rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the refined carpet tradition of northeastern Persia in a hand-knotted wool format. Its formal allover layout pairs a deep navy field with a warm tan outer frame, creating a composition that feels both grounded and luminous. The balance of dark and light gives the rug clarity and presence without heaviness.

The design is built from mirrored botanical forms: large palmette blossoms, slender vase-like pendants, and curling vines that repeat across the field with measured rhythm. Cream, camel, soft blue, and brown outlines soften the geometry, while the dense floral network keeps the surface lively without losing symmetry. The result is a Persian rug with the discipline of a medallion composition and the richness of an allover garden.

A series of narrow borders surrounds the center, each filled with tiny rosettes and trailing tendrils that echo the interior motifs and reinforce the antique character. Elegant yet versatile, this Khorassan carpet brings depth and quiet pattern to traditional rooms, transitional settings, and collected interiors alike.

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.
