About the Item
79261 Vintage Persian Mashhad Rug, 09'09 x 12'01. A masterpiece of noble artistry and Persian grandeur, this hand-knotted wool vintage Mashhad rug offers more than an heirloom—it invites you into a legacy of elegance, symbolism, and spiritual abundance. At its heart lies a regal medallion, radiating symmetry and refinement, flanked above and below by floral vase pendants that feel less like ornamentation and more like ceremonial offerings. These iconic vase motifs, long associated with prosperity, eternal life, and paradise in Persian visual language, lend a sanctified quality to the design. Every knot, every motif whispers of exclusivity—a singular expression of prestige woven by a masterful hand.
The crimson red field, resplendent and commanding, serves as the stage upon which rhythmic floral sprays dance with lyrical precision. This movement is no accident—it mirrors the intentional choreography of nature in Persian garden design, a symbol of both earthly delight and heavenly order. As the eye travels across the surface, it is met with four sculptural corner spandrels, each delicately defined by arabesque acanthus scrollwork. From within these ornamental frames, a profusion of vases spill their contents in lush abandon, cascading blossoms into the field in a gesture of overflowing beauty and divine grace.
Framing this noble tableau is a breathtaking border composition: a grand navy ground filled with vase motifs echoing those within the field, as though encircling the central garden with guardians of abundance. This border is flanked on either side by double floral guard bands—elegant, sinuous pathways of stylized blossoms that suggest the interconnectedness of all things. The entire structure is one of sacred geometry and poetic design, elevating this carpet beyond mere textile into the realm of cultural artefact, and offering its owner a tangible link to Persian artistic and philosophical tradition.
To possess this magnificent work of art is to inherit a work of historical consequence—one that embodies social good through its preservation of cultural heritage and artisan labor. It is rare, not only in scale and condition, but in its ability to transcend time. Its prestige is quietly asserted, not shouted—measured in nuance, richness, and the careful symbolism only the most discerning eye will fully appreciate. In a world that increasingly values the disposable, this Mashhad rug offers the opposite: permanence, purpose, and the prestige of owning something truly unparalleled.
