About the Item

71924 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Khorassan Rug, 11'03 x 16'00. Steeped in the rich artistic heritage of Persian craftsmanship, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Khorassan rug is a breathtaking display of regal charm and timeless elegance. Woven in the late 19th century, it embodies centuries of masterful weaving traditions, each knot infused with the spirit of Persian artistry. The sumptuous burgundy field provides a striking backdrop, inviting the eye to wander across its intricate botanical splendor. This piece is not merely a rug but a woven garden, blooming with life and history, whispering tales of the great weaving centers of Khorasan. The all-over floral pattern is a mesmerizing symphony of nature-inspired motifs, a harmonious arrangement of blooming palmettes, delicate hyacinths, millefleur blossoms, and swirling rosettes. Curved sickle leaves, evocative of nature’s gentle movement, intertwine with classical boteh and paisley motifs, symbols of growth and eternal rebirth. Every element is meticulously placed, contributing to a sense of rhythm and refined sophistication. The floral arrangements, sprawling yet meticulously ordered, reflect the Persian ideal of paradise—a garden of infinite beauty captured in textile form. Encasing this enchanting floral composition is a masterfully woven Herati border, a timeless Persian motif symbolizing abundance and protection. This border is further flanked by ornate guard borders and meandering carnation guard stripes, lending a sense of structure and completeness to the design. The carnation, a symbol of admiration and deep affection, punctuates the framework, further elevating the rug’s poetic narrative. The interplay of deep indigos, royal blues, and delicate earth tones against the rich burgundy field creates a luminous and inviting presence, offering an aura of both grandeur and warmth. This magnificent Khorassan rug, with its captivating blend of color, texture, and artistry, is a true heirloom of Persian heritage. It seamlessly bridges past and present, making it as relevant today as it was over a century ago. Whether gracing the floors of a stately manor, a grand salon, or an intimate study, this Persian masterpiece invites admiration and reverence, a testament to the enduring legacy of Persian textile art. In every thread, it carries the echoes of history, the beauty of nature, and the unparalleled skill of its makers, destined to be cherished for generations to come. Rendered in variegated shades of burgundy, indigo, royal blue, tan, navy blue, brown, cerulean, and beige with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 11'03 x 16'00.
