Late 19th Century Antique Persian Khorassan Rug with Traditional Style

About the Item

52678 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Khorassan Rug, 12'07 x 14'03. Like a timeworn manuscript revealing the whispers of history, this hand-knotted wool distressed antique Persian Khorassan rug from the late 19th century exudes an ethereal presence. With a palette softened by a meticulous antique wash, its delicate hues of abalone shell, sea salt green, soft stone blue, and faded terra cotta appear as though gently kissed by the sun and softened by age. The artistry within its fibers captures the poetic refinement of Persian weavers, who transformed wool into a vision of elegance, evoking the grandeur of Safavid court carpets while embracing the quiet sophistication of relaxed refinement. At its heart, an intricate floral symphony unfolds, where stylized palmettes, rosettes, and meandering vines intertwine in an effortless dance of botanical splendor. These motifs, inspired by the lush gardens of Persia, reflect a world in which nature and design exist in perfect harmony. Subtle cloudband motifs, reminiscent of celestial movement, drift across the composition, adding a dreamlike quality to the design. Delicate tendrils and feathery boteh motifs punctuate the field, their graceful forms lending an air of fluidity and motion, as if caught in a soft desert breeze. Framing this ethereal expanse is an exquisitely detailed border, where floral meanders and intricate vinery extend the garden-like motif, seamlessly blending into the field. Rendered in time-faded hues of cerulean, champagne, and cinnamon, the elaborate border serves as both an enclosure and an extension of the design’s naturalistic rhythm. A series of finely wrought guard borders adds another layer of depth, their delicate tracery a testament to the precision and skill of the artisans who wove them over a century ago. Steeped in history, yet effortlessly suited for modern interiors, this antique Khorassan rug embodies an understated grandeur that transcends time. Whether placed in a stately study, a tranquil retreat, or an elegant salon, it offers a sense of laid-back luxury, an invitation to walk upon the past while embracing the present. Woven with artistry and softened by the grace of time, it is more than a mere furnishing—it is a living relic, imbued with the soul of Persian craftsmanship and the timeless beauty of an heirloom treasure. Rendered in variegated shades of almond, champagne, taupe, light royal blue, dusty rose, mauve, rust, glaucous, beige, sand, tan, ecru, and terracotta with other accent colors. Distressed.
