ABOUT THIS PIECE

Handwoven using high-quality handspun wool in Ghasem Abad, Khorasan region, eastern Iran

The unique weather conditions of Khorasan, coupled with the thriving livestock breeding centers, contribute to the production of superior wool, which is a hallmark of Khorasan carpets. This emphasis on premium materials, woven into intricate knots, distinguishes Khorasan carpets and ensures their durability and luxurious feel.

In terms of design, Khorasan carpets feature a vibrant array of colours, including red, yellowish red, turquoise blue, beige, brown, and mustard. These hues are thoughtfully blended to create captivating patterns that reflect the cultural fusion of Baluch, Arab, Kurdish, Turkmen, and Persian influences. 

Other defining characteristics of Khorasan carpets are their softness and long piles, indicative of the carpet’s thickness and plush texture. This tactile quality enhances the visual appeal of the carpets and speaks to the local weavers’ skill and expertise in creating exceptional carpets.
