Ghoutschan

Rugs from the province of Razavi Khorassan in the far eastern part of Persia have been regarded as among the most distinctive and finely-crafted of all major Persian carpets for many generations, and the small town is a traditional origin of the most authentic class of Khorassan weaving, widely-recognised among rug connoisseurs and scholars for the outstanding skills of its weavers and the marked local character which they impart to their designs and colour schemes. This striking Quchan item in the totally distinctive and finely-wrought medallion composition of Quchan displays the superb draughtsmanship and intuitive flair for evocative colour combinations which distinguish the most desirable works of the origin.
