Add elegance to your home with this antique 10x12 Persian Mashad rug. Hand-knotted in the 1920s and signed by a master weaver, this wool Persian carpet features a striking floral vase at the center. Flanking the central vase are a pair of tree of life motifs that rise vertically, their branches filled with delicate blossoms and scrolling foliage. The rich red field is balanced by an ivory border with detailed floral motifs in shades of navy and soft blue.
About Persian Mashad Rugs
Mashad rugs are woven in the northeastern city of Mashad, long known for producing some of the most refined and richly detailed carpets in Persia. These rugs are often large, featuring floral medallions, vase motifs, or garden-inspired layouts. With high-quality wool, deep color palettes, and tight knotting, Mashad rugs are appreciated for their beauty as well as lasting craftsmanship.
Unique Characteristics of this Mashad Rug
This piece stands out for its unique composition: a central floral vase, flanked by two symmetrical tree of life motifs that add a sense of vertical structure and visual harmony. The layered flowers, curling leaves, and vinework create a lush, garden-like appearance across the field. The signature from the weaver adds provenance and value, marking this as a piece of exceptional craftsmanship.
