This antique Khorassan rug, circa 1910, is a hand-knotted Persian masterpiece distinguished by a finely drawn floral medallion composition and an elegantly time-softened palette. Its ivory field, powder blue arabesques, and rose-toned botanical details are framed by multiple intricate floral borders, showcasing the refined craftsmanship associated with Khorassan weaving. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining area, or grand bedroom.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, powder blue, dusty rose, burgundy, taupe, sage, charcoal, and coral, with a ivory 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.
