Antique Khorassan Persian Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7315 13'8" × 19'5" $130,000

This antique Persian Khorassan rug, circa 1880, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northeastern Persia in a grand, hand-knotted wool carpet. Its allover composition has the measured symmetry associated with the finest Khorassan and Kashan-inspired pieces, with a subdued medallion presence that gives the rug a composed architectural character rather than a single focal point.

The field is filled edge to edge with scrolling vinery, palmettes, rosettes, and floral latticework, creating a dense botanical surface that feels both formal and fluid. Navy blue brings depth to the light beige ground, while warm taupe and brown notes soften the contrast and lend the design a quietly aged patina. The result is richly detailed, yet visually controlled.

A broad border frames the carpet with flowering sprays and delicate guard stripes, sharpening the outline and reinforcing its room-anchoring presence. Well suited to a traditional interior or a more transitional setting, this antique Khorassan Persian rug offers the texture, restraint, and historical character collectors and designers value.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
