This vintage Persian Mashad rug measures approximately 8x11 and features a striking central floral medallion set against a rich red field, framed by deeply saturated navy spandrels and an intricate border. The floral motifs are dense and finely drawn, filling the entire composition with elegant curves, blossoms, and vinery. The high knot count and tight weave reflect the masterful execution typical of Mashad workshops. Its vivid palette and formal symmetry make it a bold yet timeless statement piece, perfect for anchoring a living or dining room.
About Mashad Rugs
Mashad rugs are woven in the northeastern city of Mashad, a historic center of Persian rug production known for its finely knotted, large-scale carpets. These rugs often feature grand central medallions, flowing floral motifs, and an elegant use of color—commonly deep reds and blues. Mashad weavers are celebrated for their high knot density and refined craftsmanship, with many pieces woven using quality wool and traditional symmetrical knots. Their grandeur and durability make them enduring favorites among collectors and interior designers alike.
