About the Item
75596 Antique Persian Mashhad Rug, 10'08 x 13'08. Imbued with the poetic soul of Persian artistry, This antique Persian Mashhad rug from the early 20th century stands as a testament to the grandeur of Mashhad’s weaving legacy. Hand-knotted from fine wool, this extraordinary masterpiece embodies the cultivated elegance of a bygone era—an heirloom crafted for palatial interiors and connoisseurs of refinement. Its exclusive composition radiates harmony and restraint, offering an experience of visual serenity grounded in centuries of Persian aesthetic philosophy. This is not merely a floor covering, but a woven manuscript of beauty, each knot a verse in the language of luxury.
Across its luminous field unfolds a delicate ballet of floral sprays—arabesques, curling vines, and blossoms rendered with painterly precision. The repeating pattern breathes rhythm into the composition, evoking the gardens of paradise that inspired the Persian masters. Each signature motif interlocks with the next in a seamless orchestration of symmetry and flow, balancing opulence with quiet dignity. The abrashed field adds an ethereal depth, lending the piece the gentle patina of time and touch—a visual whisper of authenticity and age that only true antiques possess.
Framing this botanical reverie is a distinguished border, its darker tone providing dramatic counterpoint to the lighter field within. Here, stylized palmettes and lotus blooms form a regal procession, contained within slender guard bands of meandering carnations. This interplay of contrast and refinement is the hallmark of the Mashhad tradition—an art form known for its balance of grandeur and grace. The border’s rhythmic order gives structure to the lyrical abundance of the interior, much like an ornate frame accentuates a masterful painting.
This exquisite work of art is a rare acquisition for the discerning collector—an embodiment of Persian sophistication and timeless status. Its enduring elegance and subtle radiance speak to a world of cultivated taste, where luxury resides not in ostentation, but in craftsmanship and heritage. To live with such a precious piece is to inhabit a space of cultural depth and refinement—one where history, artistry, and prestige are eternally intertwined.
Rendered in variegated shades of tan, ecru, camel, ink blue, cerulean, glaucous, baby blue, coffee, almond, and chocolate with rust undertones and other accent colors.
