Late 19th Century Persian Mashhad Carpet with Modern Style

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.

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. This antique Mashhad rug...
