About the Item

77432 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Qazvin Rug, 11'00 x 21'00. Woven in the cultural heartlands of northwestern Persia during the late 19th century, this hand-knotted wool antique Qazvin rug is a precious, one-of-a-kind expression of Persian refinement. Its expansive proportions, poised symmetry, and architectural elegance place it among the most exceptional examples of court-inspired village weaving. At first glance, the eye is met by a captivating allover botanical lattice, a delicate garden of stylized florals and scrolling foliage rendered in rich jewel tones—ruby red, midnight sapphire, blue topaz and touches of ivory and rose. These sumptuous hues, softened by time yet enduring in brilliance, lend the larger than life composition a sense of opulent allure timeless grandeur. The enchanting field is alive with floral geometry, where palmettes, rosettes, and curling saz leaves bloom in a rhythmic tableau of nature tamed by design. Unlike medallion-based compositions, the allover pattern dissolves any central axis, inviting the viewer to explore without hierarchy—each motif as vital as the next, creating a sense of endless movement and continuity. This design philosophy echoes the Persian garden ideal, where order, beauty, and natural harmony are orchestrated into a vision of paradise. Each flower, stem, and vine is placed with meticulous attention to detail, elevating the rug to a canvas of expression, an extraordinary masterpiece of both design and devotion. Framing this luxuriant field is a wide botanical border that serves not merely as decoration, but as a visual procession—an ornate signature collection of classic Persian motifs. Flanked by finely rendered inner and outer floral guard bands, the mesmerizing border features a symphony of flowering vines, lotus forms, and interlaced scrollwork. The interplay between field and frame creates a sense of balance and poise, defining the rug not only as a decorative textile, but as an object of elite artistry. Its composition invites placement within both contemporary interiors and traditionally curated spaces, where its visual rhythm and rich palette contribute depth, refinement, and poetic sophistication. What distinguishes this exquisite work of art is its rare ability to merge classical elegance with a subtle modern restraint. The absence of overt centralism allows it to blend effortlessly into a variety of spaces while retaining its unmistakable presence. It evokes a relaxed silhouette with flawless execution, creating an ambiance of cultivated luxury without ostentation. Each signature motif becomes a whisper of history—speaking of dynastic patronage, of workshops that prized impeccable craftsmanship, and of a design lineage rooted in cultural symbolism and architectural harmony. This majestic rug is both grounding and ethereal, both structured and softly lyrical—a duality that defines the finest Persian art. To own this one-of-a-kind antique Persian Qazvin is to be entrusted with a piece of living history, to walk across an exclusive textile heirloom that embodies high-end craftsmanship, cultural resonance, and timeless beauty. It offers more than aesthetic value—it delivers a soulful experience, an invitation into the Persian artistic imagination where the garden becomes eternal and design becomes destiny. With its luxurious materials, sublime composition, and enduring appeal, this cherished treasure is not just decor—it is a statement of taste, a testament to heritage, and a curated legacy for generations to admire.

Signed Antique Persian Mashhad Carpet with Traditional Style
Located in Dallas, TX
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...
