Madder-red medallion field
A grand medallion carpet in madder red and ivory — ten months at the loom.
The story of the piece
Named for the eastern province of historic Persia, the Khurasan unfolds from an ivory-and-saffron medallion into a dense garden of palmettes and scrolling vines on a madder-red ground. Nearly four and a half million knots of pure silk give it a lustre that shifts as you walk around it — a centrepiece for a formal drawing room or a private library.
