About the Item
Oversized 1880s Antique Persian Khorassan Rug
Size: 14'6" × 16'8" (441 × 508 cm)
Rich in heritage and artistic finesse, this 19th-century Persian Khorassan rug presents a stunning visual narrative that captures the essence of traditional craftsmanship from one of Persia’s most renowned weaving regions. Woven in the late 1800s, this oversized masterpiece radiates both elegance and sophistication.
The field of the rug features an intricate all-over design of stylized palmettes, floral bouquets, and leafy vines arranged in a tight, repeating lattice. This rhythm of botanical motifs flows across a cool celadon-toned background, creating a sense of movement and balance. The palette — composed of soft blues, rusts, coral, mossy greens, and ivory — is mature and refined, producing a subtle yet striking contrast that enriches the decorative complexity of the composition.
Framing the central design is a series of exquisitely rendered borders. The main border is a deep terracotta red filled with large-scale, stylized arabesques and rosettes that echo the floral theme while anchoring the airy field. The surrounding guard borders in midnight blue add depth and definition, incorporating delicate flowerheads and angular vinework that serve as a quiet counterpoint to the boldness of the main frame.
Hand-knotted in wool with a characteristically soft and luminous pile, this antique Khorassan rug not only showcases the region's mastery in weaving but also its reputation for achieving nuanced coloration and precision in pattern. Despite its age, the rug retains exceptional clarity in design and tone, a testament to its quality.
This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
