Persian Antique Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB8592 12'4" × 14'7" $53,000

This antique Persian Feraghan rug, woven circa 1880, reflects the disciplined workshop tradition of northwestern Persia in a hand-knotted format prized for both elegance and endurance.

Its field is organized as a tightly paced allover lattice, where geometric-floral units repeat with measured symmetry across a deep indigo ground. Small rosettes, stylized blossoms, and angular vine forms create a layered rhythm that feels formal yet animated, giving the composition a strong architectural presence without losing its decorative softness. The design reads as refined and deliberate, with each motif carefully articulated rather than crowded.

A multiband border frames the center with equal authority, using warmer brick red, light blue, ivory, and soft gold to brighten the darker interior. The result is a balanced Persian floral rug with the clarity collectors value and the visual depth designers seek. Its antique patina and dense drawing make it especially effective in rooms that call for structure, color, and a quietly distinguished historic accent.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
