About the Item
Technical Overview
This antique Persian Mashad rug dates to the late 19th century, circa 1870–1890, and represents a finely woven example from northeastern Iran. The rug is a standard small size, measuring approximately 4 ft 2 in x 6 ft 6 in (about 127 x 198 cm), well suited for intimate interior settings. Hand-knotted in wool on a probable cotton foundation, it reflects the durable workshop traditions for which Mashad rugs are known. Its antique status, one-of-a-kind nature, and preserved structure place it firmly in the collectible category.
Design Analysis
The design features a dense allover field of repeating boteh (paisley) motifs arranged in a tight, rhythmic lattice. There is no central medallion; instead, the composition relies on uniform repetition and balanced symmetry across both axes. A wide, dark navy main border frames the warmer reddish-brown field, supported by a narrow inner guard. Border motifs combine floral rosettes, leaf forms, and scrolling elements that echo the curvilinear botehs within the field. The palette centers on rich russet brown with deep navy accents, softened by parchment yellow, burnt orange, and subtle green notes, with gentle abrash visible across the field.
Weave and Performance
Knotted with asymmetrical Persian knots at an estimated 150–250 KPSI, the rug offers a medium-density, resilient structure. The pile height of approximately 5 mm provides a comfortable yet controlled surface with moderate sheen and a balanced hand. The woven cotton foundation and intact selvedges contribute to structural stability, making the rug appropriate for low to medium traffic areas such as bedrooms, studies, libraries, and formal sitting rooms.
Professional Application
This Mashad rug is ideal for traditional, classical, and layered eclectic interiors that favor warm earth tones and historical depth. Its small scale works well as a focal piece under a writing desk, beside a bed, or anchoring a seating vignette. As a late 19th-century Mashad with high rarity and prestige ratings, it supports both decorative and long-term value considerations in curated design projects.
Condition
Care
The rug is in excellent antique condition, with even wear consistent with age and no visible repairs, stains, odor, or moth damage. Fringe, selvedges, and ends appear original, intact, and well maintained. Professional cleaning is recommended, with care taken to test for dye stability and to avoid harsh chemicals or aggressive pads, in line with 1stDibs standards for fine antique textiles.
