The dark plum diamond medallion is the charming centerpiece of this burgundy rug. Worked on a burgundy field, lovely scrolling vines carry cream palmettes and steel blue blossoms with small gold centers. A gorgeous diamond medallion in dark plum holds a rust core with a steel blue center, and pendants point up and down the field. Dark plum corner pieces carry orange-red and light blue palmettes. The main border sits on dark plum, with rust, red and blue palmettes inside cream outlines. Cream floral bands and narrow blue and red stripes edge this border inside and out. A few scuffed patches across the field have pile worn low, where the foundation shows. The burgundy field set against the dark plum border makes a deep, warm center for a large room. At 9'6" by 12'8", 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.
About Mashhad rugs
In 1877 the Qajar shah gave London’s South Kensington Museum 14 carpets chosen by his ministers to represent the best being woven, one of them made in Mashhad. The Textile Museum in Washington counts Mashhad among the Khorasan cities cited as sources of fine carpets. Mashhad is the great weaving city of Khorasan in northeastern Persia, and it specialized in large formats. Its rugs show deep madder red grounds, a single dominant medallion, and borders wide enough to hold their own at scale. This piece keeps the single medallion and a broad border, with steel blue and cream drawing across the burgundy field. If a vintage Persian rug is genuinely room-sized and the red is dark rather than bright, Mashhad is often where it came from.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
