Circa: 1920.
This antique Khorassan runner, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind Persian carpet distinguished by its elongated format and refined all-over boteh design. The ivory field is enlivened by rose, burgundy, and soft blue motifs within a narrow border, giving the piece a beautifully faded palette and a graceful, time-softened character that collectors prize in early 20th-century rugs. An elegant choice for a hallway, entryway, or long gallery space.
Faded warm tones of ivory, rose, burgundy, slate, taupe, and sage, 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.
