Beautiful and Finely Woven Light Blue Colored Background Antique Persian Khorassan Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rugs, Circa Date: Early 20th Century – Wheaten yellow and pale orange give this antique Persian rug a light appearance, supported by the darker touches of black and blue in a delicate balance. Splaying arabesques link across the symmetrical pattern filling the central area, warm hues rich against the blue background that peeks through this beautiful antique Persian khorassan rug. The antique rug’s darkness abounds with brighter figures of countless flowers, from tiny white tulips to larger orange daisies or even smaller sprays of pale blooms. Leafy shapes and ornate blossoms rest at the junctions within the pattern, adding stability to the floral population. A wide set of borders encloses the central area, each set apart from the next by a thin edging like extremely fine gold-work embroidery. Simply styled daisies throng through the bands, the petals picked out with dark line-work. Subtle variations of blue and orange add intriguing contrast to the intricate, decorative rug strips.
