Antique Khorassan Carpet

1900 - 1920
Description

A super pretty pale antique Khorassan carpet, circa 1890-1900 the weave is fine and the wool is very soft. Beautiful natural faded dyes, using wonderful variations of pale blues. You will see that the blues change throughout the carpet from darker blues, to light blues and back again. This is where the weavers have used different batches of wool, and over the last 100 plus years the dyes have faded and oxidised. The term for dye change is known as abrash and adds immense character to antique carpets, which modern weavers try to replicate in new rugs.

The condition is good in general, the fringes and sides are secure and strong. With the main field showing some signs of wear and lower pile, this just adds to the character and appeal of this beautiful antique Khorassan.

If we can show you this carpet at home or in our showroom soon, it would be our pleasure, please make contact in your preferred way.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Khorassan carpets are traditional hand-knotted textiles produced in the Khorassan region of north-eastern Persia. They are recognized for their fine knot density, soft wool, and elaborate floral patterns, often featuring all-over repeat designs or central medallions.

These carpets are constructed using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a cotton or wool warp and weft foundation. Weavers employ asymmetrical Persian knots to create detailed, durable patterns with a soft texture.

Authentic pieces are identified by their fine weave, flexible handle, and characteristic colour palette often including soft blues, crimson, and ivory. The reverse side reveals hand-knotted structural variations consistent with historic regional weaving traditions.

A classic Persian carpet acts as an anchor in both modern minimalist and traditional room settings. The dense pattern and blue hue complement natural timber furniture, neutral upholstery, and architectural features.

Regular vacuuming without a rotating brush helps remove surface dirt without pulling threads. Professional hand-washing by a textile specialist is recommended for deep cleaning to preserve natural dyes and fibres.
