5577 · 7'10" x 10'7" Persian Mashhad Oversized Rug

A charming star medallion in pale blue, cream and mauve sits on a burgundy field. At the center, a star medallion in pale blue, cream and mauve sits on a burgundy field crowded with scrolling vines, palmettes and small blossoms. A gorgeous teardrop pendant in pale blue and pink, with curling horns, sits above and below it. Splendid corner spandrels in mauve and coral hold cream floral forms with pale blue leaves. A mauve ground carries the broad border’s cream cartouches, palmettes and blue and crimson red leaves. Cream guard stripes with small red and black leaves run on both sides, and a narrow red and blue stripe edges the field. The pile is low in places across the field, and white flecks show where the foundation comes through. In a large room, the pale blue notes cool the red ground. At 7'10" by 10'7", 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.
