Antique Sky Blue Persian Khorassan Rug 47581

Antique Persian Khorassan Rug, Persia, circa 1920’s – Here is a beautifully composed antique Oriental rug – a beautifully composed antique Khorassan carpet, woven in Persia around the second decade of the twentieth century. Classically composed and resplendent with traditional Persian design elements, this comely Khorassan is a truly elegant example. Generally speaking, Khorassan carpets exhibit a lush and fluid style, and are, as a rule, impeccably woven. This particular example beautifully exhibits each of these characteristics: the drawing throughout the composition is incredibly fluid and elegant, with beautifully rendered floral and vine scroll details appearing throughout. What is most immediately noticeable about this particular carpet, however, is its beautiful coloration. The field is characterized by a beautiful, ephemeral shade of blue, which gives an added dimension to the detail work, meticulously woven in shades of gold. Impeccably composed and brilliantly representative of the Khorassan style, this antique Persian rug is an intriguing and majestic example.
