Hand-knotted in the historic Khorassan region of northeastern Iran—renowned for producing some of the finest rugs in Persian history—this piece showcases a rare and desirable near-square room size, making it particularly versatile for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
The deep navy blue field serves as a dramatic backdrop for an elaborate network of scrolling vines that unfurl across the surface like flowering branches. These scrolling forms are richly adorned with vibrant floral motifs in turquoise, red, yellow, green, ivory, and sky blue, lending a cheerful and luminous quality to the overall composition. The border design, featuring large, stylized flower bouquets, beautifully frames the central pattern and enhances the visual balance of the piece.
Woven from high-quality wool and dyed with natural pigments, this Khorassan rug offers not only beauty but durability—ideal for a formal living space, grand entryway, or as a collector’s display piece. Its vivid color palette, refined workmanship, and harmonious proportions embody the timeless elegance of Persian rug artistry.
A stunning addition for collectors, connoisseurs, and interior designers seeking a one-of-a-kind rug with historic provenance, artistic sophistication, and decorative impact.
