This antique circa 1920 Khorassan rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind Persian carpet with a finely drawn all-over floral lattice on a soft slate blue field. Its hand-knotted wool pile presents repeating ivory rosettes, scrolling vines, and a layered ivory floral border in an elegant, time-softened palette. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining area, or bedroom.
Faded neutral tones of slate blue, ivory, taupe, charcoal, cream, beige, and soft gray, with a slate blue field.
Khorasan (also Khorassan) is a vast region of northeastern Iran encompassing a number of important weaving centers, most notably Meshed (now Mashhad), the region's capital. Khorasan rugs share certain characteristics — double-wefted cotton foundations, asymmetric knotting, and elaborate curvilinear floral designs — while varying considerably in quality and palette from workshop to workshop.
The finest antique Khorasan carpets rival the great city workshops of central Persia in their technical achievement. Their palette tends toward rich reds, deep blues, and ivory, with medallion and all-over floral formats predominating. They are substantial, formal rugs suited to large rooms and traditional interiors.
