About the Item

type of traditional handmade rugs originating from the Khorasan region, which encompasses parts of present-day Iran, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan. These rugs are highly regarded for their exceptional craftsmanship, intricate designs, and rich cultural heritage. Khorasan rugs are known for their durability and high-quality materials. They are usually made using natural fibers, such as wool or silk, which contribute to their longevity and unique texture. The wool used in Khorasan rugs often comes from the sheep bred in the region, renowned for producing fine and lustrous wool. Design-wise, Khorasan rugs exhibit a wide range of patterns and motifs, reflecting the cultural diversity and influences of the region. Traditional designs may include geometric patterns, floral motifs, medallions, arabesques, and intricate borders. The color palette of Khorasan rugs typically consists of rich hues like deep reds, blues, ivory, and earth tones. Khorasan rugs have been produced for centuries by skilled artisans using traditional hand-knotting techniques. These techniques involve tying individual knots onto the warp threads of the rug, creating a dense and intricate weave. The knot density can vary, but higher knot counts often indicate higher quality and finer details. These rugs are highly valued in the world of carpet weaving and are sought after by collectors and rug enthusiasts. The term "Khorasan" has become synonymous with excellence in rug craftsmanship, signifying a rug of exceptional quality, design, and historical significance. It's worth noting that the name "Khorasan rugs" is a general term that encompasses various styles and designs produced in the broader Khorasan region. The specific characteristics of Khorasan rugs can vary depending on the subregion and the individual weaver's artistic style, resulting in a diverse range of rugs within this category. Eliko Rugs by David Ariel features this Khorassan rug with a shaped sandy-peach field that presents a rounded, 16 point medallion with pendant lamps/vases, supported by voluted corners and a relatively homogenous fill of small flowers, palmettes, leaves and vinery. Peach border with inscription cartouche at one end and a slender floral meander overall.
