Antique Khorassan Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6826 11'4" × 16'6" $90,000

Antique Persian Khorassan rug, circa 1920, hand-knotted in wool in northeastern Persia, reflects the region’s formal floral weaving tradition. Its soft beige ground creates a calm, luminous base, and the slightly softened drawing gives the piece a graceful patina rather than a rigid, newly made appearance.

A finely worked allover composition fills the field with scrolling vines, palmettes, and stylized blossoms, organized around a subtle medallion-and-crest structure. Powder blue outlines, ivory floral forms, and chestnut brown accents keep the pattern clear while preserving its antique softness, allowing the design to read as elegant, layered, and quietly formal.

A layered border of rosettes, leafy tendrils, and small floral details frames the composition with balance and depth. The result is a Khorassan Persian rug that anchors classic furnishings beautifully, yet remains versatile enough for transitional interiors, where its restrained palette and flowing ornament bring warmth without visual weight. It has the kind of understated presence that suits collected, layered rooms over time.

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.
