Antique Khorassan Persian Rugs 41934

Antique Khorassan Persian Rug, early twentieth century
A lush profusion of flowering vines and palmettes unfolds all across this exuberant antique Khorassan. The density and excitement of the design is nicely offset by the softness of the palette, with its ivory tones set against pale blue, with sparing use of brown as a punctuating accent. This carefully controlled contrast of light and dark recurs in the border system, providing a unified but framing closure for the field composition.
