4713 · 9'10" x 12'6" Persian Mashhad Oversized Rug

A compact navy lozenge medallion is the delightful center of the burgundy red field. Around a compact navy lozenge medallion, a burgundy red field runs with fine vines and flower heads in navy, gray blue and cream. Its core is cream around a blue star, and a navy pendant sits above and below. Small cream triangles edged in blue sit in the dark navy corners. A wide navy border carries scrolling vines and rose flowers, inside a cream guard and a gray blue band of palmettes. Wear is broad: the pile runs low above the medallion and through the lower center, leaving pale streaks of foundation. The borders keep more pile, with one pale spot on the left. It holds its own in a large, dim room, where burgundy and navy sit close and the cream and rose stand out. At 9'10" by 12'6", 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.
