5364 · 10' x 13'1" Persian Mashhad Oversized Rug

Red palmette cartouches linked by olive vines give this rug a lovely border. Set within a deep red field, fine vines carry blue, tan and cream palmettes and small flower heads across the open ground. A gorgeous near-black diamond medallion sits at the center, with a tan ring around a pale blue flower and small pendants above and below. Splendid near-black spandrels fill the four corners, each ending in a tan corner piece. The wide main border has a near-black ground, with red palmette cartouches linked by olive vines and small red flowers. Guard stripes in cream, red and pale blue run along both sides of the border. The pile is low in places across the field, and pale specks show in the main border. It suits a room that wants a strong center, and the near-black frame steadies the deep red. At 10' by 13'1", 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.
