Signed Antique Persian Mashhad Carpet with Traditional Style
Located in Dallas, TX
61201 Signed Antique Persian Mashhad Rug 11'07 x 16'09. Woven beneath the shadowed domes and bustling bazaars of northeastern Iran, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Mashhad rug stands as a tribute to the enduring grandeur of Persia’s weaving legacy. With every knot anchored in memory and design rooted in centuries of tradition, the rug radiates a noble presence. Its generous proportions and deeply saturated burgundy field evoke a warmth as timeless as it is commanding. The composition unfolds through an allover pattern that creates a continuous garden of stylized flora, filling the field with rhythmic abundance and intricate charm.
A symphony of botanical motifs—palmettes, rosettes, split leaves, botehs, and feathered blossoms—grace the expanse of the field, arranged in an ever-blooming cadence that stirs the senses. The paisley-like botehs and open-petaled sunbursts seem to float in a sea of crimson, forming constellations of elegance that reveal new intricacies with each glance. This design is not merely ornamental—it echoes the famed Persian gardens, cultivated realms of order and poetry, and reflects the philosophical belief in harmony between man and nature. The softened abrash, the faint shifts in red from time’s gentle wear, only enhance the character of this floral narrative.
Enveloping this lush composition is a regal border scheme anchored by a grand navy blue main border filled with stylized Herati motifs and rosettes, each rendered with striking clarity against a field of indigo. Scrolling vines and blossoms extend with a sinuous grace, connecting floral motifs in an unbroken chain of beauty. Flanking this central band are narrow guard borders—bands of delicate meandering florals on tan backdrop—that frame the composition with layered refinement. These surrounding elements do not constrain the field but elevate it, adding architectural rhythm and deep visual balance.

The Serapi rug can be traced back to the beginning of Persian handmade rug production in 5,500 B.C., but it was not until the mid-19th century that Persian rugs began to be exported around the world. Before these rugs became an export item, they were used only in the villages in which they were produced.
Mellow colors and more minimal pattern distinguish the Serapi from other members of the Heriz family. Original Serapi rugs were created in the villages of Serapi, Sarab, Ahar, Heriz and Gorevan.

Antique, New and Vintage Area Rugs and Carpets for Your Home
Antique, new and vintage area rugs and carpets are a simple way to add warmth and style to any space. Area rugs can be seasonal or changed with other decorative objects to refresh an interior. Carpet piles materials can vary from wool and cotton to silk and synthetic fibers, and the purpose of a floor covering can range from reducing noise to offering a place to sit.
Vintage rugs can ground a space, and arranging furniture around them creates a measured focal point. Key furniture pieces can be placed on the rug or just the legs, such as with furniture like coffee tables in your living room.
So, how can you tell if a rug is high quality or vintage?
The three main components that determine the quality of a piece are the dyes, the wool and the number of knots per square inch. Ultimately, however, if you want to be sure the rug you’re buying is truly an antique, it is best to consult an expert.
If you want a creative design that stands out, area rugs or carpets can provide layers of color. Rugs and carpets reflect a global heritage of textiles and weaving, such as ornately patterned Persian and Indian designs. Visually striking Chinese rugs can add a delicate touch of color, while modern rugs make a statement with their geometric patterns.
Turkish rugs, with their ruby reds and misted blues, their entwined botanical designs and rhythmic geometries, are as beloved today as they were in the 13th century. The West’s current infatuation with Moroccan and North African tribal rugs stretches to the mid-20th century, when modern furniture designers embraced bold geometric patterns and even bolder palettes as counterpoints to form-follows-function interiors. Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier were among the designers who used these rustic, natural rugs to offset austere interiors.
If you properly maintain your antique and vintage rugs, they will last for many years. When you’re thinking about how to clean a rug, it is important to keep in mind that your vacuum is not too harsh for your favorite floor covering. Frequent vacuuming is in fact necessary to remove everyday dirt that otherwise wears down the pile. Omri Schwartz of Nazmiyal does, however, stipulate that “it’s best to use an ordinary suction vacuum without bristles, as the bristles can damage the rug’s pile.” Rotating the carpet every couple of years is also recommended — it ensures that the rug gets even foot traffic.
On 1stDibs, find a vintage rug or carpet to add a layer of beauty and function to your room.
