Antique Khorassan Persian Rugs 2387

Antique Khorassan Persian Rug, circa 1900
This antique Khorassan is the epitome of restraint and elegance. The lovely, low-contrast palette of soft apricot, tans, and pale cocoa mollifies and subdues the Herati pattern of the field despite its dense, animated complexity. The larger scale, geometry, and openness of the main stepped diamond border nicely complements the tiny, percolating detail of the field.
