Story Behind the Art: Khhorasan rugs, with their roots tracing back to the late Middle Ages during the Timurid empire, have earned a remarkable reputation for their exquisite craftsmanship. These rugs are most celebrated for their brilliant red coloration, which is obtained from a specific plant with red granules native to the Khhorasan region. Alongside this vivid red, Khhorasan rugs showcase a wide-ranging color palette that includes rich purples, various shades of blue, deep navy, earthy browns, and a diverse array of lush greens. Some Khhorasan rugs feature more ornate and intricate color schemes. They boast a diverse range of designs, encompassing everything from intricate all-over patterns to arabesque medallions adorned with corner motifs, often featuring the distinctive Herati border. Additionally, the soft and lustrous wool used in their production is a standout characteristic, contributing to their unique charm and desirability.
