About the Item

This antique Persian Mashad rug was hand-knotted in northeastern Iran between 1900 and 1920, a period known for robust workshop production and richly saturated palettes. Woven entirely in wool on a cotton foundation, it measures approximately 8 ft 3 in x 11 ft 0 in (about 2.51 x 3.35 meters), placing it in a standard large, room-size format. The medium pile and substantial weight reflect its intended use as a durable yet refined furnishing for formal interiors. The design centers on a large, multi-lobed floral medallion set within a deep ruby red field, framed by coordinated corner spandrels. Dense curvilinear ornament fills the ground, including palmettes, rosettes, serrated leaves, and Shah Abbas–style arabesques. A contrasting navy main border anchors the composition, layered with multiple guard stripes and repeating floral motifs that create a strong visual frame. Ivory, antique gold, teal, and soft green accents articulate the pattern and add depth against the red and navy grounds. Constructed with an asymmetric Persian knot at a moderately fine density, the rug has a supple handle with a pile height of approximately 6 mm. The woven cotton foundation provides structural stability, while the wool pile offers resilience and soil-hiding performance. This combination makes the rug well suited to low-to-moderate traffic areas such as formal living rooms, dining rooms used for adult entertaining, libraries, or primary bedrooms. From a design perspective, this Mashad rug supports classic and traditional schemes that benefit from strong color and formal symmetry. The saturated red field pairs well with dark woods, leather upholstery, and layered antiques, while the navy border grounds larger rooms and defines seating arrangements. Its balanced proportions and enduring pattern language also make it a reliable long-term decorative investment. Condition is very good for an antique rug of this age. The pile is even and intact, with no visible repairs, stains, odor, or moth damage noted. Selvedges remain stable, and colors appear clear and well preserved. Professional cleaning, dye testing prior to washing, and use of a quality pad are recommended to maintain condition in line with 1stDibs conservation expectations.
