Antique Khorassan Persian Rug 41935

This vibrant Khorassan late 19th century - carpet features a traditional Tree of Life pattern woven in a formal, architectural format reminiscent of traditional prayer rugs. Pairs of auspicious birds and a nest of fledglings decorate the central tree, which is built around arching branches, accentuated palmettes, saz-leaf motifs and detailed floral sprays. Suspended comb amulets hang from the formal arch and architectural spandrels that are decorated with ornate scrollwork. Two smaller trees round out the composition and complete the exceptional turquoise and Persian blue color scheme.
