Antique Large Shahrestan Indian Allover Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Indian weaving draws heavily upon classical Persian design traditions. Shahrestan workshops specialized in producing high-quality, densely knotted antique rugs that captured the elegance of Safavid-era masterpieces, making them highly desirable for Western interiors. The field presents a mesmerizing and finely detailed allover design of scrolling vines, stylized palmettes, and delicate blossoms. The masterful use of color is immediately apparent, featuring a soft, oxidized aqua ground that provides a luminous backdrop for the complex pattern. The subtle interplay of deep indigo and soft rose accents elevates this piece among other blue color rugs.
