This antique circa 1900 Khorassan rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind Persian carpet with an elegant all-over floral design in softly timeworn blue, ivory, and blush tones. Its finely detailed palmettes, scrolling vines, and layered guard borders create a refined, airy surface with the graceful patina prized by collectors. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining area, or bedroom.
Faded cool tones of blue gray, ivory, blush, taupe, dusty rose, sage, and charcoal, with a blue gray 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.
