5406 · 9'6" x 10'5" Persian Mashhad Oversized Rug

The arched cartouches on the near-black main border set the tone for this charming rug. On a burgundy field, dainty scrolling vines carry peach, cream and gold flower heads and small dark blue blossoms. A handsome round medallion at the center throws pointed leaves outward from a ring of pale blue-gray petals around an orange core. Quarter medallions in pale blue-gray with orange touches sit in the four field corners. The main border is near-black, carrying gold and cream palmettes and red flower heads in arched cartouches. A cream band with red leaf forms runs on each side of it, and a thin blue stripe edges the outside. Low pile shows in the field and along stretches of the main border, where the foundation comes through. It holds a large room together, and the cream bands lift the near-black border. At 9'6" by 10'5", 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.
