4473 · 9'8" x 13' Persian Mashhad Oversized Rug

A cream rosette gives the star medallion a charming center. At the center, a cream rosette anchors a star medallion on a deep red field crowded with lovely scrolling vines and palmettes. Dark pointed pendants reach out from the top and bottom of the star into the vines. Near-black spandrels in each corner hold large dusty rose and blue motifs against the dark ground. The wide main border is near-black, carrying bold palmettes in camel, pale blue and red. Narrow cream and red stripes edge the border on both sides. Pile is low in places across the field, and the red reads paler where it is worn. The dark corners balance so much red across a large room. At 9'8" by 13', it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.
