About the Item

This 16x25 oversized antique rug of Khorassan provenance is a rich and exciting new curation from Rug Kilim’s collection of Persian classics—a particularly unique find among works of a celebrated weaving tradition, made with hand-knotted wool circa 1910-1920. On the Design: Admirers of the craft may recognize an unexpected take on traditional floral patterns with finely articulated and stylized shrubs, rendered in a rich yet subdued palette of deep sapphire blue, madder red, and subtle ochre. What distinguishes this piece is the striking central medallion system: a dominant octagonal medallion, bursting with ornate detail, is flanked by beautiful floral vase motifs that stand sentinel at the top and bottom. The elegant main border—a wide band featuring repeating Shah Abbas palmettes and stylized vines—is meticulously detailed, showcasing the sharp drawing and fine execution at work here—quintessential of the quality revered in Khorassan carpets of this size and scale. The smart use of a naturally fading palette plays beautifully with the finely articulated motifs, making this piece all-the-more special to find in such a subtly distinct piece for the tradition. It is a grand piece of folk art, both extremely collectible for the connoisseur and equally versatile in its size and sensibility for designers welcoming this regal traditional look. Condition: This antique Khorassan Persian rug is in good condition with mild wear and has a subtle distress consistent with its age and origin.
