Antique Khorassan Persian Rug, late nineteenth centuryAlthough the floral detail of this lush antique Khorassan is an immediately ornamental composition based on symmetrical repetition, it nonetheless functions as a sprawling pictorial image of a natural environment - a paradise scene replete with various birds, lions, and foxes. These are all rendered in golden tones and red against a dramatic blue black ground. The main border is small in scale - a simple, a reciprocal trefoil design that gives pride of place to the field.
