About the Item

Mashad rugs, also known as Meshad carpets, are renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship and intricate designs. These Persian rugs have a rich history that dates back centuries, with the 19th century being a particularly significant period for their production and refinement. Mashad, located in northeastern Iran, has been a center for rug weaving since ancient times. However, it was during the 19th century that Mashad rugs reached the height of their popularity and artistic expression. This period saw an influx of skilled artisans and weavers, as well as increased demand for Persian rugs in international markets. During the 19th century, these rugs were heavily influenced by the cultural and artistic trends of the time. Persian rug weaving techniques were refined, and designs became more elaborate, often featuring intricate floral motifs, geometric patterns, and medallions. Natural dyes extracted from plants, flowers, and insects were commonly used, giving the rugs their distinctive and vibrant colors. The city of Mashad itself played a crucial role in the production of these rugs. As one of the holiest cities in Iran, Mashad attracted pilgrims from all over the country, as well as traders and merchants from neighboring regions. This convergence of cultures and influences contributed to the diversity and richness of the rug designs. Mashad rugs were highly prized by collectors and connoisseurs during the 19th century, both in Iran and abroad. Wealthy patrons commissioned custom-made rugs for their homes, palaces, and mosques, further fueling the demand for these exquisite works of art. Despite the political and economic challenges faced by Iran during the 19th century, the tradition of rug weaving in Mashad persevered. Skilled artisans passed down their techniques and expertise from generation to generation, ensuring the continued production of high-quality Mashad rugs. Today, 19th-century-20th Century Mashad rugs are cherished as valuable heirlooms and sought-after collectors' items. Their timeless beauty, intricate designs, and superior craftsmanship continue to captivate admirers around the world, preserving the legacy of Persian rug weaving for future generations to appreciate. This Antique Mashad is quite rare due to its quality, color and size which measures 12 x 16'6"
