This magnificent Mashad rug (11.9 × 16.2 ft) commands attention with its opulent scale and intricate floral elegance. A finely rendered medallion anchors the design at center, radiating outward through a symphony of swirling vines, blossoms, and palmettes. Set against a richly saturated crimson field, the design balances fluid motion with classical symmetry hallmarks of high-grade Mashad weaving.
The borders echo the lush floral rhythm, framed in multiple guard bands in deep navy and brick red, adding refinement and structure. Subtle abrash, especially in the field, lends warmth and character, while the tight knotting and dense wool pile reflect quality and endurance. Ideal for large formal spaces or interiors that crave a dramatic, yet refined, focal point.
