Signed Antique Persian Mashhad Carpet with Traditional Style

About the Item

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. Enveloping this lush composition is a regal border scheme anchored by a grand navy blue main border filled with stylized Herati motifs and rosettes, each rendered with striking clarity against a field of indigo. 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 is more than a textile; it is a vessel of cultural memory and a canvas of craftsmanship. Proudly inscribed within the cartouche is the weaver’s name—Taj, meaning “crown”—a fitting emblem for a rug so steeped in regal poise and artistic legacy. Each motif carries the touch of the artisan’s hand, each border a record of enduring aesthetics passed down through generations. Designed to anchor the grandest of rooms and to inspire through its elegance, this piece invites admiration not only for its beauty, but for the storied artistry it represents. In its faded reds and floral scrolls lies a quiet opulence—an invitation into a world where design is devotion, and every thread whispers the poetry of Persia. Weaver Signature.
