Antique Khorassan Persian Rug 42482

Antique Khorassan, Persia, late nineteenth century – Sprays of graceful arabesque vines and palmettes unfold in graceful symmetry across the soft neutral field of this elegant antique Khorassan from Persia. A similar design is adapted to produce the main border. Despite its patterned richness the design seems relatively spacious because of the unifying tone-on-tone color scheme used throughout, with only the darker outlines of the vines attracting the viewer’s attention.
