Antique Persian Mashhad Amogli Rug, Rare

About the Item

Antique Persian Mashhad Amogli rugs are esteemed for their exceptional quality, intricate designs, and rich cultural heritage. Originating from Mashhad, the capital of the Razavi Khorasan Province in northeastern Iran, these rugs are celebrated for their fine craftsmanship and distinctive aesthetic appeal. Region: Mashhad is one of the largest and most significant cities in Iran, known for its religious importance as well as its rich history of rug weaving. Weavers: The rugs were traditionally woven by highly skilled artisans in Mashhad, many of whom belonged to families with a long tradition of rug making. Amogli Workshops: The Amogli (or Amoughli) name refers to a specific family or workshop known for producing some of the finest rugs in Mashhad during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Cultural Influence: The designs and techniques of Mashhad Amogli rugs reflect the rich cultural heritage of the region, influenced by Persian artistic traditions and motifs. High-quality wool is the primary material used, known for its durability and ability to hold vibrant dyes. Some Mashhad rugs may also incorporate silk highlights. Cotton is commonly used for the foundation (warp and weft) of the rugs. Dyes derived from plants, insects, and minerals are used to achieve rich, enduring colors. Asymmetrical Knot: Mashhad Amogli rugs typically use the asymmetrical (Persian) knot, which allows for more intricate and detailed patterns. High Knot Density: These rugs often have a high knot density (KPSI – knots per square inch), resulting in a fine and detailed weave. Design and Characteristics Mashhad Amogli rugs are known for their deep and vibrant colors, including shades of red, blue, ivory, and green. Abrash: The use of natural dyes often results in slight color variations (abrash) within a single rug, adding to its character and authenticity. Patterns: Central Medallions: A common design feature is the large, elaborate central medallion, often surrounded by intricate floral and arabesque patterns. Mashhad rugs frequently feature detailed floral motifs, including palmettes, vines, and blossoms, arranged in symmetrical designs. Border Designs: These rugs often have multiple borders with intricate designs that frame the central field, adding to the overall complexity and beauty of the rug. Texture: These rugs are known for their thick, plush pile, providing a luxurious feel underfoot. Collecting and Value Genuine antique Mashhad Amogli rugs are increasingly rare, especially those in good condition. Antique Persian Mashhad Amogli rugs are treasured for their beauty, craftsmanship, and cultural significance. These rugs are not only functional pieces but also works of art that offer a glimpse into the rich heritage of the Persian people. Collectors and enthusiasts highly prize them for their intricate designs, vibrant colors, and luxurious feel.
