Soft Neutral Earth Tone Colored Antique Decorative Persian Khorassan Rug, Weaving Origin: Persia, Circa: 1900 – Antique Persian Khorassan rugs have an almost ethereal beauty. Their gorgeous softer rug colors and striking patterns combine to create area rugs that can be described as no less than masterpieces of artwork. This antique Persian Khorassan rug, from the turn of the 20th century, is an excellent example of why this is so.
The all-over design of this rug features an ancient pattern that is known as the “Garous.” This design is something we expect to see in the antique Persian Bidjar rugs and is quite unusual to be found in the Persian rugs from Khorassan. The precision of the design gives refined look and feel that can create a sense of formality in the room. That said, the softer use of colors and the more open approach to design make it just as easy to place and position such rugs in almost any type of home decor approach. The artist creates contrast not only in the colors that are used but also in using layers of patterns in different scales and designs. The result is a stunning piece that is perfect for traditional and classic furniture styles.
The colors of the magnificent Persian rugs, most the the earlier rugs from the 19th century and back, often feature striking reds and blues. In this particular piece, however, we see the use of softer more neutral colors which is also quite inline with the Khorassan rugs from the earlier part of the 20th century. It has a faded look with colors that have been softened by the passage of time. This gives the rug a more casual feel that could easily be the foundation for a rustic farmhouse look or a Shabby Chic room. The elegant feel of the antique rug makes it perfect for a Boho Chic look, too.
The antique rugs from Khorassan are made with durable wool that has a natural glow. They transform with the changing light throughout the day. This Persian rug has a natural feel that would be perfect for pairing with other natural elements such as plenty of oversized plants, textured throws, and matching artwork. It brings an exotic feel to the space and has a global character. Khorassan carpets are known as some of the most beautiful in the world, and this one is an excellent example that will add charm and elegance to your space.
