About the Item
76466 Vintage Persian Khorassan Rug, 10'00 x 13'00. From the legendary weaving ateliers of Khorassan—an epicenter of Persian artistry for centuries—this hand-knotted wool vintage rug radiates refinement and exclusivity. Its magnificent eight-point star, nested within a sixteen-point central medallion, anchors the composition with both balance and grandeur. Framed by elegant spandrels, the design radiates outward like a celestial map, guiding the eye through a garden of arabesque florals that embody both cosmic order and natural abundance. This is the artistry of empire, distilled into wool and dye, preserved for the elite collector.
The exceptional medallion itself is a triumph of geometry and symbolism. The eight-point star, long revered across cultures, signifies regeneration, protection, and divine harmony—while the surrounding sixteen-point configuration elevates the form into a vision of infinity. Together, they speak to Khorassan’s unmatched ability to fuse mathematical precision with lyrical beauty. The surrounding field, alive with scrolling vines, palmettes, and stylized blossoms, creates a perpetual dance of motifs that feel as relevant to the modern aesthete as they were to the Persian courts of the past.
Encircling this magnificent field is the classic Shah Abbas border, named for the patron king who elevated Persian weaving to its zenith. With its interconnected floral scrolls and delicate guard bands, the border offers a frame of permanence and poise, grounding the garden-like field in an embrace of symmetry. The palette—soft blush, muted taupe, celadon, and faded indigo—whispers of antiquity, lending the piece a patina that only time and authenticity can bestow.
To own this Khorassan is to acquire more than a rug—it is to inherit a legacy of Persian grandeur, one coveted by aristocrats and connoisseurs across centuries. Its balance of geometry and florals, its rare medallion, and its patinated elegance elevate it beyond decoration into the realm of heirloom. This is a textile for those who understand that true luxury resides not in possession alone, but in possessing what is scarce, storied, and sublime.

Antique Persian Sarouk Area Rug
Located in New York, NY
Sarouk is a name of a village situated about 25 miles north of Arak (Sultanabad). This region became one of the most active regions of carpet weaving in the late 19th century through the early 20th century. The city's most famous designer was named Farahan. To be able to compete with Kashan in rug commerce, Farahan designed rugs with center medallion motives. Today, these carpets are referred to as Antique 19th century Farahan Sarouks.
In the 1920s and 1930s a well-known rug dealer in New York thought that Americans would buy rose-field carpets with blue borders and detached floral motives. During that period, a vast number of Sarouks with rose-fields and all over floral patterns were woven and exported to the American market. However, the natural dyed rose color did not stand up to the alkaline bath to which new rugs in Arak were subjected in the finishing process. The rose color faded radically. But instead of changing the finishing process or changing the composition of the dyes to stand up to alkali, New York merchants "solved" the problem by arming their staffs with synthetic dyes and little paint brushes with which they painted back in the rose-color in the entire fields of thousands and thousands of rugs and carpets over a period of 20 years. Today, Antique Sarouk rugs and carpets...
