Ravishing and refined, this hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Mashhad area rug exudes elegance with its intricate design. At its center lies an eight-point cusped palmette medallion, surrounded by a captivating arabesque garden motif. Blooming palmettes, leafy tendrils, lilies, lotus blossoms, rosettes, and feathery boteh motifs intricately adorn the rich ruby red field, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of Persian artistry. Curled sickle leaves and undulating vines dance rhythmically across the surface, while long, curvy sickle leaves form a lush frondescence frame around the ink blue corner spandrels.

Each corner spandrel is a masterpiece in itself, boasting pointed and cusped trefoils embellished with florals and foliage. The rug is encased within a Herati-style border, accented by inner and outer camel-colored guard bands, double carnation meander guard borders, and rectilinear double inner and outer guard stripes. The intricate interplay of colors and patterns showcases the rug's highly decorative aesthetic and stylish complexity. Through its timeless beauty, this Mashhad rug serves as a testament to Persian culture, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its enticing composition and rich heritage.
