Early Khorassan Gallery CarpetIran
c. 17th century, This is a particularly narrow, but well colored 17th century example, of a cohesive group of Northeast Persian classical carpets: the Cartouche and tree rug type. Once attributed to the Caucasus, on the basis of semi-geometric, bold design and bright colors, they are now universally ascribed to Khorossan, possibly Herat, possibly Qain, Birjand or elsewhere, but not to Meshed which became active as a rug weaving center only in the late 19th Century. This rare and historical example is in good condition for its age and could still be used as a decorative piece for the floor. A truly historical piece.
