Woven in the esteemed Khorassan region of northeastern Persia, this oversized masterpiece features a refined open field floral pattern, brought to life through the use of exceptionally fine lustrous wool and rich, naturally derived vegetable dyes.

The rug’s expansive red field has mellowed over time into a warm, inviting hue, beautifully complemented by an abrash palette of shifting blues and greens. These tonal variations—resulting from hand-dyeing with organic pigments—create a subtle depth and dynamic movement across the surface. The high-quality wool, noted for its lush, oily texture, has developed a soft, elegant patina over more than a century, enhancing the rug’s aged character and luxurious feel.
