Antique Khorassan Persian Carpet 41880

Antique Persian Khorassan carpet, Country of origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1900 – A pointed polygonal medallion with serrated edges hovers amidst the field of this sumptuous antique Persian Khorassan rug, capped by two grand ogival finials with similar edging. Scalloped corner-pieces create a kind of secondary oval outer medallion form. Vine scroll and palmette borders frame the entire composition. There is a remarkable unity to the carpet owing to the use of consistent ornamental detail throughout, as well as to a consistent range of soft, complementary colors – blues, golds, and mauve tans. As a result the piece works as a first-rate decorative carpet.
