Take a gander at this antique Persian Mashhad rug, a wonderful masterpiece straight from the 1880s. Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool in the holy city of Persia, this rug tells a tale of craftsmanship and tradition. The large and in charge center medallion steals the show, its navy blue ground and floral design with pops of ivory, blue, and berry red resembling a mesmerizing kaleidoscope. The ivory canvas surrounding it provides ample space for dainty floral work, with branches that seem to shimmer with age. Adorning the corners are decorative spandrels, their lovely spiraling vines dancing against a rich berry red backdrop. The borders are a work of art themselves, boasting multiple bands that add a touch of elegance.
Sure, it's seen its fair share of life – one side more worn than the other, evidence of a story told through footprints and furniture. Yet, it wears its character with pride, battered and bruised, but still exuding love. Please see pics for full character and condition. This large rug isn't just a floor covering; it's a piece of history, perfect for a living room, dining room, or bedroom. Offered at a value, this fabulous rug is a treasure trove of stories, history, and artistic mastery. A timeless investment in culture and beauty that will bring a soulful presence to any space it calls home.
