5602 · 7'1" x 10'7" Persian Mashhad Oversized Rug

A charming near-black medallion with lobed edges and a cream core around a blue star sits at the center. At the center, a near-black medallion with lobed edges and a cream core around a blue star sits on a deep red field, with a pendant at each end. Dainty scrolling vines, palmettes and small blossoms in steel blue, cream and olive crowd the ground. Each corner holds a handsome near-black spandrel with a cream corner piece. The narrow main border has a blue ground carrying red and cream scrolling leaves, set between cream bands of small red and blue blossoms. The pile is low in places across the field, with pale specks where the foundation shows. It brings a strong red to a room, and the blue border and the steel blue in the vines cool it. At 7'1" by 10'7", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.

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.
