About the Item

Antique Persian Khorassan Rug (Size Adjusted) Size: 15'1" × 29'4" (459 × 894 cm) This majestic antique Persian Khorassan rug, dating from the early 20th century, is a stunning example of timeless craftsmanship and artistic refinement. Measuring an impressive 29'4" × 15'1", this size-adjusted piece brings museum-quality beauty into a space on a grand scale. Hand-knotted in the storied weaving centers of northeastern Iran, this rug showcases the exquisite Khorassan style, characterized by intricate botanical patterns, softly articulated motifs, and harmonious color palettes. The composition is anchored by a majestic allover field of flowering shrubs and palmettes, rendered in a flowing, mirror-like arrangement that evokes a classical Persian garden. The rich earth-toned background, a blend of soft amber, camel, and muted terracotta, serves as a warm foundation for the design. Delicate floral sprays in hues of deep indigo, ivory, faded peach, aubergine, and subtle sky blues blossom across the rug, forming an elegant and balanced pattern that invites close inspection. The central medallion, although subtle, anchors the field with understated grandeur. A series of multi-layered borders frame the composition, the most notable of which features a dramatic midnight blue ground filled with stylized rosettes and angular vinery, providing a bold contrast to the otherwise subdued palette. Secondary guard borders add rhythmic repetition with delicate rosettes and scrolling tendrils, enhancing the regal effect. Woven from high-grade wool, this rug boasts a velvety texture and enduring strength. Its fine weave and expert knotting—hallmarks of the Khorassan tradition—allow for such precise and complex design work. This antique carpet is not merely a floor covering but a cultural artifact. It reflects the skill and artistry of Persian weavers at the height of their craft, while its adjusted size makes it uniquely adaptable to modern interiors—from grand dining halls and ballrooms to upscale hospitality environments. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
