Vintage Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Silk Carpet BB8935 3'8" × 5'2" $5,000

This vintage hand-knotted silk rug from Egypt interprets a formal Persian-inspired tradition in a refined, collectible format. Woven in the vintage period, it balances delicacy and structure, offering a distinctive Egyptian reading of classic Oriental carpet design.

A warm tan field is filled with a tight trellis of blossoms, rosettes, and scrolling vine work, creating the impression of a finely worked garden. Near the upper center, a softly shaped reserve adds focus without interrupting the rhythm of the allover pattern. Brick red, navy blue, and light blue accents give the composition depth and clarity.

The dark navy border is especially striking, set with larger floral medallions and leafy motifs that frame the interior like decorative architecture. Hand-knotted in silk, the rug has a luminous surface and crisp definition that enhance every detail. It brings a composed, traditional note to a formal living room, library, or quiet sitting area.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
