Vintage Striped White And Navy Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Persian BB8146 5'0" × 6'10" $8,000

This vintage Persian kilim is a flat-woven wool rug with a restrained striped composition, rooted in the relaxed textile traditions of Iran. Set on a white ground, the design is marked by horizontal bands of navy blue that lend the piece a crisp, graphic clarity.

Its appeal lies in the subtle irregularity of the striping: some lines appear tightly drawn, while others widen or soften slightly, giving the surface a natural, handwoven rhythm. The borderless layout keeps the rug visually open, allowing the alternating bands to read as a quiet field of movement rather than a rigid pattern.

The simple white-and-navy palette makes this kilim especially versatile in contemporary, coastal, Scandinavian, or layered traditional interiors. It can anchor a room with clean linear structure, add contrast beneath upholstered seating, or bring a tailored note to a more relaxed setting. Durable, understated, and texturally rich, it reflects the enduring appeal of vintage Persian rugs.

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