Finely Woven and Extremely Decorative Antique Persian Khorassan Rug, Country of Origin / Rug type: Antique Persian Rugs, Circa Date: 1910 – Though only a few colors are chosen to define the palette of this beautifully intricate antique Persian Khorassan rug, the artist makes masterful use of contrast to draw attention to key sections along the rug’s surface. At points such as around the borders and at the heart of the antique Persian rug, the darker elements stand out against the sandy beige color of the background. The primary foreground elements are defined by silvery gray tones and earthy coffee browns. The entire palette is beautifully unified in such a way, where the neutral colors work together to solidify the flowing elements within, as if they are already in motion inside the rigid structures of the borders. Several frames surround each other as they come closer and closer to the heart of the room size rug, the dancing petals and weaving vines inside them setting the theme for the rest of the rug to follow. At the core of this beautiful antique rug, the perennials and natural motifs come together in a beautifully symmetric arrangement.
