Khorassan Antique Rugs and Carpets

The region of Khorassan in northeastern Iran has been famed for fine rugs going back to Timurid times in the late middle ages. In the later nineteenth and twentieth centuries Khorassan became a center for the production of high quality room-sized carpets, although many of these are sometimes known by more specific designations such as Mashad or Doroksh. The range of designs is extensive, from allover to medallion formats in the classical tradition. The palette is varied as well, sometimes using deep, rich tones. But many Khorassan rugs have a softer, more decorative coloration. Whatever the design or color, however, Khorassan carpets maintain a high standard of drawing and weaving technique, making them durable despite their soft lustrous wool.
