6'8 x 9'7 Hand-Knotted Persian Mashhad Area Rug

Item Details

This hand-knotted Persian Mashhad area rug showcases a classic urban design characterized by its grand scale and intricate floral detailing. The composition centers on a multi-lobed circular medallion in navy and ivory, radiating outward across a vibrant cherry-red field filled with dense floral sprays, palmettes, and scrolling vines. Dark navy blue spandrels at the corners anchor the field, mirrored by a wide, ornate main border that features repeating floral motifs and traditional Shah Abbasi palmettes. Woven with high-quality wool on a sturdy cotton foundation, the rug demonstrates a high knot density (estimated between 150–250 KPSI), which allows for sharp definition of its complex botanical elements. This piece represents the late 20th-century height of the Mashhad weaving tradition, prized for both its durability and its ability to serve as a visual anchor in formal interior spaces.
