Large Antique Persian Khorassan Carpet 48298

Large Antique Persian Khorassan Carpet, Country Of Origin: Persia, Circa date: First Quarter of the Twentieth Century – Here is a truly beautiful antique rug – an antique Khorassan carpet that was woven in Persia during the early years of the twentieth century. Majestic and highly classically composed, this stunning antique Persian Khorassan carpet features impressively detailed floral elements and a dynamic pallet of reds, blues and ivories.  This powerful antique Persian carpet features extraordinarily complex detail work throughout, from its rich and precisely detailed borders to its expansive field, across which sinuous vine scrolls and gorgeous floral elements unfold. Predominantly red, from its primary border to its field to much of its detail work, this carpet features an inner and outer border of a soft brown color that stand out against the rest of the composition in a fascinating manner. The eye is drawn here, and also all over the surface of the field: here, set against the red that dominates the piece, the light blue vine scrolls and blossoms stand out beautifully. These infuse the carpet with life and energy, giving the entire piece a profound impression of classical beauty.
