Antique Persian Mashad Rug | 7'10" x 11'2" | c. 1940s
Details
Hand-knotted in the storied city of Mashad, this Persian rug is a masterwork of floral symphony and regal balance. A luminous ivory ground hosts an all-over lattice of rosettes, palmettes, and winding vinery in vivid shades of sapphire, magenta, deep navy, and rust-red—each detail meticulously drawn to create a flowing sense of rhythm and unity. The sweeping composition is anchored by a wide madder border adorned with stylized blossoms, echoing the grandeur of Persian court aesthetics.
