A truly elegant masterpiece of Persian weaving, this fine Khorasan carpet is distinguished by an all-over pattern composed of delicate interlace of palmettes, rosettes and sickle leaves, orchestrated in perfect tempo and embellished by an exquisite teal blue background, with generous touches of apricot and lilac pink. A timeless example of how an ancient, Imperial Safavid design can still feel extremely contemporary in taste.
