Authentic Persian Khorassan Orange, Yellow Handmade Wool Rug BB7520 10'2" × 13'0" $60,000

$60,000

A late 19th century Khorassan rug from Persia, the peach field with an overall design of palmettes, feathery split-leaf tendrils and floral vinery within a sage palmette and leafy vinery border.

Khorasan consists of two words, “Khor” and “Asan,” meaning “rising sun” as befits a region on Iran’s eastern border. Bordering the Salt Desert to the west and Afghanistan and Turkmenistan to the east the Khorassan region (or more correctly, province) is home to many well-known Oriental antique carpet workshops in the towns of Amoghli, Khamenei, Makhmalbaf, Saber, Zarbaf, and, of course, Meshad. With a good supply of soft wool, high quality craftsmen, a mix of larger city-based workshops, looms in smaller villages, and access to the Silk Road, Khorassan has a reputation far and wide as a source of the largest and most varied assortment of beautiful Persian rugs and carpets.
