Cocoa Background Light Blue Antique Persian Khorassan Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rugs, Circa Date: 1920 – Through the use of powerful borders and gentle contrast, this Khorassan rug has a unique style that conveys class and character. The lighter palette brings to mind sandy, loamy landscapes, featuring proud crags and stones scattered throughout the vista. The several borders on this antique rug frame around each other, their colors leading the viewer’s eyes along their lengths and surfaces closer and closer to the heart of the Persian rug, where the majority of the activity is arranged. Here, several petals and blossoms are set in a symmetrical series of forms, themselves attractively standing out against the beige background that acts as the rug’s most defining tone.
