This antique Persian rug reflects the skill that allowed Khorassan to maintain its reputation as a premier carpet weaving center for centuries. Antique Oriental carpets from this region became famous for their delicate designs, executed in fine detail. The use of color is refined and adds to the elegance of the work. This rug uses subtle shading to create highlight and shadow, enhancing the realistic nature of the leaves and flowers throughout the antique Khorassan rug. This highly decorative rug uses an all over design with a complex set of borders. Use of space between these two elements is nearly equal and creates a balance between the borders and field. Rather than playing a role as a supporting element, the border also creates a focus to capture the attention of the viewer.

This draws the eye outward and makes the light blue and brown antique Persian Khorassan appear larger.

The character of the rug is stately and shows an exquisite sense of taste and style. It would be the perfect addition to a classic or traditional design and would find itself perfectly at home among other fine art pieces. The delicateness of the design gives the Khorassan carpet a sublime quality that will carry through into the rest of the home decor.
