An antique Persian Khorassan carpet. This antique, non-Mashad NE Persian room size carpet features a detailed, close dark blue Herati-patterned field framed by a wide and interesting border system including: an outermost plain cerulean stripe; a light red main band with a rosette trellis pattern; and an ecru inner border with round rosettes and stars. The weave is consistent with a non/pre-Mashad origin in the nearby Qainat carpet area.
