If you want a palatial rug with an air of old-world splendor, this 1920s Mashhad beauty is ready to sweep you off your feet. Draped in a regal fuchsia ground, she’s an opulent garden come to life, with a breathtaking curvilinear dance of vines and blossoms.
The floral symphony plays out in crisp, detailed artistry, featuring roses, palmettes, and arabesques that meander effortlessly across the field. A resplendent medallion blooms at the heart, framed by scrolling vinery and delicate tendrils, while the corners balance the composition with intricate spandrels that echo the design. The grand scale of the motifs, so typical of Mashhad rugs, adds to its regal presence.
Her wool is densely packed within each knot, making her immensely heavy and durable—she’s a fortress of woven art, built to stand the test of time.
And the colors? An absolute feast! Fuchsia, rose pink, queen blue, deep taupe, oxford blue, antique ivory, espresso brown, blue jay, jade, teal, eggplant purple and more…let’s just say she’s got a whole painter’s palette woven into her fibers.
With graceful scattered wear, she carries her age with sophistication, telling her story through every softened hue and timeworn thread. Several shots posted so you can take in all the details of this curvilinear wonder.
Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool.
