Antique Persian Dark Brown Flatweave Wool Silk Rasht Textile BB9226 4'0" × 6'9" $7,000

This antique Persian Rasht textile, woven circa 1940, reflects the refined decorative tradition of northern Persia in a flatweave wool-and-silk construction. More textile than pile carpet, it carries the delicacy and precision associated with collectible antique Persian rugs and regional woven furnishings.

The dark brown field is organized by a lively lattice of crimson floral medallions, each built from petal-like outlines and small rosettes in blush, ivory, blue, and rose. The repeating pattern feels structured yet ornate, giving the center a rich sense of movement without losing its geometry. Subtle warmth in the neutral outlining softens the stronger accents.

A creamy main border frames the composition with scrolling vines, blossoms, and stylized leaves, while the narrow navy guard borders add contrast and definition. The result is elegant and versatile, with a palette of dark brown, muted red, cream, and navy that lends depth, pattern, and antique character to traditional or layered contemporary interiors.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
