Vintage Hand-Knotted Rug BB8689 11'10" × 14'6" $23,000

Crafted in 1958, this vintage Persian Kilim rug is a masterclass in understated elegance and artisanal craftsmanship. Woven by hand using traditional flat-weave techniques, this piece presents a bold yet subtle expression of mid-century Persian textile art.

Composed entirely of hand-spun wool, the rug’s color palette is dominated by rich, earthy tones—predominantly deep cocoa and mahogany brown with gentle interspersed flecks of ivory and charcoal. The natural undyed wool gives the piece a raw, organic appeal while emphasizing its authentic provenance. The visual rhythm is set by alternating bands of variegated horizontal striations, giving the rug a sense of depth and movement without overwhelming the eye.

Its geometric precision is softened by the handwoven texture, which showcases beautiful irregularities and natural imperfections—hallmarks of its authenticity. The sections are subtly defined and stitched together, creating a harmonious patchwork that feels both rustic and modern. This minimalist layout makes it highly versatile for contemporary, bohemian, or modern interiors.

Sized generously, it’s ideal for anchoring large spaces such as open living rooms, lofts, or creative studios. The durability of its dense wool foundation ensures this rug is not only visually striking but also practical for everyday use.

Whether you’re a collector of vintage textiles or a design enthusiast seeking organic sophistication, this Persian Kilim offers timeless warmth, heritage, and character in every thread.

As part of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated collection, this rug reflects the brand’s commitment to offering a wide range of high-quality pieces to suit various tastes and budgets.
