Antique Khorassan Persian Rug, circa 1900
An allover pattern of sinuous arabesque vines and palmettes undulates gracefully across the field of this sumptuous antique Khorassan. Small flowers fill the intervening space to produce an almost continuous ornamental surface in soft greens, blues, aubergine, and ivory against a pale sand ground. The chocolate ground border of lotus palmettes provides a delicately contrasting frame for the golden field while preserving its richly detailed texture.
