About the Item

74232 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Khorassan Rug, 13'09 x 15'09. Steeped in history and woven with the finest artistry of 19th-century Persia, this magnificent hand knotted wool antique Khorassan rug whispers tales of grandeur and refined elegance. From the heart of Khorassan, a region celebrated for producing some of the most distinguished Persian carpets, this masterpiece embodies an ethereal harmony of open space and intricate detail. The striking ivory expanse of the field creates a serene backdrop, inviting the eye to the mesmerizing diamond medallion at its heart—an exquisite lattice of floral motifs that bloom in perfect symmetry. This interplay of negative space and densely patterned design is a hallmark of Khorassan weaving, a testament to the sophisticated aesthetic that has long enchanted collectors and connoisseurs. A dance of meticulous artistry unfolds across the stepped spandrels, where a mesmerizing repetition of small-scale Herati motifs forms a captivating mosaic of color and movement. These delicate, interlocking elements, woven with the utmost precision, embody the timeless grace of Persian textile traditions. Framing this breathtaking composition is a lavish series of borders, each layer brimming with stylized florals, sinuous vine-scrolls, and palmettes that pay homage to the botanical splendor of Persian gardens. The rhythmic interplay of crimson, indigo, and ivory hues breathes life into this Persian rug, evoking the warmth and opulence of a bygone era. The passage of time has only enhanced the poetic beauty of this antique Persian Khorassan rug, lending a soft patina that deepens its character and historical intrigue. The natural dyes, derived from ancient techniques passed down through generations, have gracefully mellowed, creating a symphony of hues that shift with the light, revealing new dimensions of artistry at every glance. Every knot, carefully tied by skilled hands over a century ago, speaks to a legacy of patience and dedication—an echo of the storied past woven into its very fabric. More than a mere textile, this Late 19th Century ​Khorassan rug is a portal to the golden age of Persian craftsmanship, a tangible relic of a time when rugs were not just furnishings, but treasured heirlooms imbued with cultural and artistic significance. Whether gracing the halls of a stately home or serving as the foundation for a richly layered interior, this Persian marvel offers an enduring connection to the elegance of the past. In its presence, one cannot help but be transported—to a world where beauty, tradition, and artistry intertwine in perfect harmony. Abrash. Age Wear. Small repair. Hand-knotted wool.
