Antique Persian Floral Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7154 5'1" × 7'10" $27,000

This antique Persian Senneh rug, woven circa 1880 in northwestern Persia, reflects the celebrated fineness of the region’s hand-knotted wool weaving tradition. Its softly aged light beige field gives the composition an airy, restrained character, allowing the drawing to read with clarity rather than heaviness.

An allover trellis of floral rosettes and linked geometric vines covers the field in a measured repeat, creating a rhythmic surface that feels intricate yet orderly. Accents of rust red, teal, dark brown, and muted black enliven the lattice without overwhelming the calm ground, while the pattern’s delicate scale lends the rug a refined, almost textile-like delicacy. The result is a decorative antique Persian rug with quiet movement and classical balance.

A brick red border frames the design with scrolling palmettes and vine forms, adding warmth and definition around the softened center. Elegant and versatile, this floral allover rug brings depth, history, and a grounded sense of pattern to formal living rooms, libraries, and transitional interiors.

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.
