Birjand

Carpets originating from the province of Khorassan in the far eastern part of Persia have been regarded as among the most distinctive and finely-crafted of all major Persian classifications for many generations, and the small town of Birjand is a traditional origin of the most authentic class of Khorassan weaving, widelyrecognised 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 outstanding item in the ornate and superbly refined medallion composition of Birjand displays the infinite range of drawing and tonal skills the master weavers of Birjand bring to their work, with the immediately recognisable stylistic approach of the Birjand medallion composition allowing endless opportunities for the introduction of individual touches which in their seamless conjunction combine to make a Persian carpet of truly incomparable splendour. A Khorassan master example of subtle magnificence and grandeur, in the highest connoisseur category.
