About the Item

72983 Antique Persian Mashhad Rug, 11'00 x 16'00. Mashhad rugs, originating from the northeastern city of Mashhad in Iran, are esteemed for their intricate designs and exceptional craftsmanship. Characterized by elaborate motifs such as central medallions adorned with arabesques and palmettes, these rugs boast a rich color palette derived from natural dyes, including deep reds, blues, and ivories. Floral patterns, inspired by traditional Persian motifs like the Shah Abbasi and Herati, intricately fill the field, while Baroque elements such as dramatic corner spandrels add a touch of grandeur. Renowned for their timeless elegance and cultural significance, Mashhad rugs exemplify centuries of Persian rug-making tradition, making them prized possessions for collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. In this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Mashhad rug, craftsmanship meets artistry, resulting in a masterpiece that exudes timeless charm and understated luxury. The earthy hues of the antique-washed brown background provide a warm and inviting backdrop for the intricate floral and botanical motifs that dance across its surface. Each delicate detail tells a story of tradition and heritage, showcasing the impeccable quality and quiet sophistication synonymous with Mashhad rugs. It is framed with a class Shah Abbas border, a nod to the rich history and cultural significance of Persian carpet weaving. Originating from antique Oriental carpets crafted centuries ago, this iconic motif adds a sense of grandeur and elegance to the rug's composition. Surrounding the central field, a series of guard borders adorned with reciprocating floral motifs further enhance the rug's majestic allure, creating a harmonious interplay of pattern and color that captivates the eye.

The allover floral and botanical design not only adds visual interest but also fosters a sense of connection to the natural world, promoting well-being and harmony within the home. With its exquisite craftsmanship and timeless beauty, this Mashhad rug is more than just a floor covering—it's a work of art that elevates any space with its earth-tone elegance and biophilic allure.
