Hand-knotted in wool circa 1920–1930, the rug enjoys an intricate all-over pattern featuring stylized blossoms, vinery, and geometric motifs woven in tones of coral, dusty rose, ivory, muted teal, and soft terracotta.

On the Design:

The design of this antique Persian rug revels in the intricate beauty of classic all-over floral ornamentation paired with a disciplined geometric sensibility. A richly abrashed navy field serves as the backdrop for a dense lattice of stylized blossoms, angular vinery, palmettes, and rosettes rendered in coral, dusty rose, ivory, muted teal, and terracotta tones. The arrangement achieves remarkable balance despite its complexity, allowing the eye to travel fluidly across the composition while continuously discovering new layers of detail.

Equally compelling is the architectural precision of its border system, where multiple guard borders frame the field with rhythmic floral motifs and geometric accents. The contrast between the dark ground and the warm, a distressed naturally aged palette lends exceptional depth and dimensionality to the piece, while the softened patina enriches its antique character. The result is a sophisticated Persian carpet that bridges decorative opulence with enduring versatility for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
