About the Item

Rare Vintage Persian Mashad Runner by Master Amoghli Size: 4'10" × 29'9" (147 × 906 cm). This rare vintage Persian runner is a remarkable piece by the celebrated master weaver Amoghli, crafted in Mashad during the 1960s—a period marked by a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and burgeoning modernist design. A true testament to this intersection, the runner exudes minimalist elegance while upholding the technical excellence characteristic of Persian weaving. The composition is defined by its striking simplicity: a deep cobalt blue field forms a tranquil backdrop for a single, stylized vertical branch motif that runs through the center. The dark stem is delicately punctuated with alternating leaf shapes in ivory and inky black, evoking the essence of mid-century modern aesthetics—bold, clean, and unembellished. Amoghli’s signature quality is unmistakable in the wool’s lustrous pile and meticulous hand-knotting, executed with precision. The subdued palette and abstract design reflect an avant-garde approach for its time, placing the piece comfortably within both traditional and contemporary interiors. Unlike more ornate Persian carpets, this runner focuses on purity of form, allowing the graphic power of the central motif to create visual drama and rhythm across its long, narrow format. Ideal for hallways or gallery-like spaces, it acts as a functional artwork underfoot. This rug from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a collectible statement of refined taste and exceptional craftsmanship—it is also a rare survival of the modernist movement as interpreted through Persian textile tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
