Egyptian Vintage Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet BB7994 12'3" × 17'7" $30,000

This vintage Egyptian hand-knotted wool carpet translates classical Oriental design into a soft, airy register. Woven with an allover botanical composition, it pairs a pale soft beige field with delicate vine scrolls, palmette-like blossoms, and small crest motifs, creating a refined surface that feels composed rather than formal.

The drawing is intentionally low-contrast, with dusty rose, blush, classic taupe, muted gold, and faint terracotta outlines barely lifting from the ground. A disciplined inner border and wider outer guard give the piece structure, while the open spacing keeps the pattern light and readable from across a room, even in the rug’s gently weathered surface.

Its character recalls Oushak- and Kashan-adjacent carpets, yet the overall effect remains distinctly Egyptian and quietly transitional. As a wool antique rug, it brings historic texture, subtle color, and an easy elegance to formal living rooms, layered dining spaces, or interiors that favor restraint over ornament.

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.
