Large Antique Blue Tree Of Life Design Persian Khorassan Rug, Persia, Circa 1900 – This incredible, majestic antique Oriental rug— a splendid Khorassan piece from Persia, made at some point in time right around the turn of the twentieth century — is a truly splendid Persian rug. A graceful, flowering tree of life — an important motif that frequently appears in this sort of rug — resplendent with spiraling branches, elegantly spreads across the rich sea blue field of this sumptuous large antique blue tree of life design Persian Khorassan rug. Finely proportioned columns support abstractly rendered arches at either end of the field. The relative simplicity and openness of the field contrasts with the closely detailed complexity of the multiple borders, while the consistent use of blue and sandy tones across the carpet provides a unified decorative effect. A beautiful antique rug by any reasonable standard, this Persian Khorassan rug is a proud example of how traditional and decorative elements can work together to create a harmony of design and functionality.
