Antique Persian Allover Geometric Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1930 Beshir Sand BB9078 12'4" × 15'9" $48,000

This antique Afghan Beshir rug, woven circa 1930, presents a measured allover geometric repeat in a village weaving tradition known for its disciplined patterning. Hand-knotted in wool, it reads as a calm, architectural carpet with a softly aged surface and refined tribal character.

The warm tan field is organized into linked diamond and octagonal compartments, each holding small geometric details that give the lattice depth without disturbing its steady rhythm. A restrained border frames the composition with rosettes and tribal emblems, while beige, taupe, and warm brown tones create a low-contrast palette that feels both grounded and elegant.

Its quiet geometry makes this antique geometric rug especially effective in large living rooms, dining areas, and open-plan interiors, where it can anchor furnishings without overpowering them. For designers seeking an antique Beshir rug with relaxed Bohemian appeal, it offers texture, warmth, and a subtly modern sensibility rooted in Central Asian-influenced weaving.

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.
