This hand-knotted Persian Mashad rug presents a classic example of traditional Middle Eastern textile artistry. The piece is defined by its intricate floral motifs and rich, saturated palette, characteristic of the renowned weaving centers in the Khorasan province. Crafted from wool, the rug measures 290 centimetres in width and 380 centimetres in length. The design features a dominant red field populated with elaborate botanical patterns, framed by multiple borders in contrasting shades of navy blue, cream, and subtle accents of pink and green. The dense knotting technique ensures a durable structure, while the natural variations in the dye contribute to the rug's authentic vintage character. The rug remains in good overall condition, retaining its structural integrity and vibrant coloration. The pile shows wear consistent with age and use, which enhances its historical appeal and patina. The fringes are intact, though they exhibit expected signs of age. This substantial textile serves as a strong foundational element for expansive living spaces or formal dining rooms. Its traditional aesthetic pairs well with both classic interiors and eclectic, modern environments, adding warmth and historical depth to the setting.
