Khorassan Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6382 13'3" × 19'4" $100,000

This antique Persian Khorassan rug, woven circa 1920 in northeast Persia, reflects the refined carpet tradition long associated with the Khorassan region. Its hand-knotted construction and formal allover layout give it the presence of a classic Persian room rug while retaining an understated, time-softened elegance.

Rather than a single medallion, the design unfolds as a continuous trellis of interlocking floral compartments. Stylized blossoms, scrolling vines, and foliate forms repeat across the warm tan field, where muted blue patterning creates gentle contrast without overpowering the surface. The result is rhythmic and orderly, yet never rigid, with the worn clarity of an antique textile that has developed depth over a century.

Multiple narrow borders frame the composition with small-scale blossoms and delicate vine work, reinforcing the rug’s balanced, architecturally minded structure. Its softened palette of tan, beige, taupe, and faded indigo makes it especially versatile for interiors that call for pattern and warmth in equal measure, from traditional salons to more contemporary spaces seeking a grounded decorative layer.

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.
