About the Item
71981 Antique Indian Khorassan Rug, 08'08 x 11'10. In the golden twilight of India’s weaving renaissance, this hand-knotted wool antique Indian Khorassan rug emerges as a paragon of cultivated beauty and poetic restraint. Its very presence speaks to the grandeur of early 20th-century artistry—an era when royal ateliers translated the Persian aesthetic through an Indian lens of warmth, symmetry, and grace. The result is an exquisite work of art of mesmerizing refinement, where each motif, color, and contour has been orchestrated to evoke an atmosphere of effortless sophistication. This is not simply a rug, but an heirloom—an expression of civilization’s highest form of domestic luxury.
At its heart lies a radiant rosette, unfurling like the first bloom of dawn across a sun-washed field of soft camel and honeyed brown. This signature medallion, both symmetrical and organic, anchors an intricate garden of stylized blossoms, leafy tendrils, and graceful palmettes. The rhythmic repetition of these enchanting motifs creates a visual cadence—a serene choreography of nature translated into geometry. Each precious knot captures the subtle dance between opulence and restraint, offering the quiet confidence that defines true refinement. The overall effect is both inviting and regal, as though the rug itself were breathing elegance into the space it graces.
Framing this lush composition is a magnificent navy border—a deep, contemplative blue reminiscent of twilight shadows settling over a royal courtyard. Within this exclusive frame, an elaborate floral meander pattern unfolds, its blooms rendered in shades of sky blue, sand, and navy blue. Together, the field and border create a mesmerizing dialogue between earth and sky, warmth and depth—a composition that holds the gaze and rewards it endlessly. Completing the tableau, double guard borders offer architectural poise, their meandering vines echoing the continuity of life and artistry.
To own this antique Indian Khorassan rug is to possess more than beauty—it is to inherit a fragment of cultural grandeur. Its subtle abrashed tones and time-softened texture speak of authenticity, its artistry whispering of ateliers that once wove for palaces. Whether laid beneath a grand piano, in a stately library, or a private drawing room, it brings with it an aura of cultivated taste and enduring prestige. This is luxury in its purest form—discreet, storied, and timelessly magnificent.
Rendered in variegated shades of camel, butterscotch, caramel, brown, navy blue, ink blue, sky blue, beige, ecru and tan.
