Ancient 18th Century Khorassan Kain, 116 X 168 Cm, Medallion And Herati Decor, Northeast Persia

Khorassan has been famous for centuries for the great beauty of its carpets, our model is no exception to the rule.
This highly elaborate piece in very finely hand-knotted wool, for a thickness of 4 mm, measures 168 cm in length and 116 cm in width.
The khorassan are renowned for their great elegance, the classic type is decorated with repeated patterns, either botehs or herati decor.
The design called Herati is after the city of Herat which was part of Khorassan in the 19th century.
The wool of the Khorassan is fine silky and delicate, our Kain model presents a palette of typical shades, light, almost faded, orange and pistachio green dominate associated with other colors.
The medallion having some similarities with the Kashan type, shows us two small pendants in terminations and is found in colors and designs in the spandrels;
The flowery and delicate border is adorned with the same shades as the pistachio field covered with a herati or mahi decoration.
There are three types of Khorassan, the classic, our model, the one with a plain field or can be presented on occasion with multiple medallions, and the rarest Khorassan, with animals, hunting decor.
These parts tied for centuries are located in the North-East of Persia, Iran whose capital is Meshed (Macchad), border region of Afghanistan and Belouchistan.
