79002 Antique Persian Khorassan Rug, 10'00 x 15'07.

This hand-knotted wool antique Persian Khorassan rug is a captivating embodiment of time-honored artistry and traditional elegance. Radiating from the center, a cusped ornamental medallion takes pride of place, gracefully anchored by palmette pendants on either end. The medallion, with its intricate layers of floral motifs and arabesque flourishes, exudes a harmonious balance, drawing the eye inward to appreciate the rich detail. Time-softened colors enhance the overall effect, with the distressed reddish-pink field providing a serene backdrop for the Khorassan rug's design to unfold.

The field itself is a masterpiece of botanical artistry, covered in an allover pattern of blooming palmettes, lotus blossoms, curved sickle leaves, and sinuous arabesque vines. Stylized florals and foliage weave together in an abstracted garden scene, infusing the large Persian rug with a sense of organic beauty. This arrangement creates an enchanting visual rhythm that dances across the surface, speaking to the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail characteristic of Khorassan rugs.

Equally elaborate are the corner spandrels, which echo the botanical elements of the field with grace and refinement. These mirrored designs, composed of the same florals and vines, offer a cohesive continuation of the rug's naturalistic theme. The seamless interplay between the central medallion, the floral motifs, and the corner spandrels results in a Persian masterpiece that is as visually complex as it is balanced, inviting viewers to explore its depths over time.

Framing this exquisite composition is a Herati palmette border, providing a stately yet fluid enclosure. The intricate border, flanked by a series of triple inner and outer floral meander guard borders, enhances the overall structure while adding layers of lush detail. This combination creates a luxurious sense of enclosure, encapsulating the timeless beauty and cultural richness of this antique Persian Khorassan rug. Whether as a statement piece in a grand interior or an homage to tradition, this rug exudes history and craftsmanship, offering warmth and elegance to any space it adorns.
