About the Item

This exquisite Antique Persian Mashad runner, dating back to the 1920s, presents a captivating fragment of traditional Persian artistry. Woven in one of Iran's most culturally rich regions, the runner captures the essence of Mashad rug-making-renowned for its opulent designs and high knot density. Crafted in a lush wool pile, this runner showcases a sophisticated floral lattice motif, gracefully spreading across the field in a symmetrical pattern. The base is dyed in a vibrant oceanic blue, serving as a dramatic backdrop for stylized palmettes, scrolling vinery, and rosettes in creamy beige, soft gold, and dusty apricot tones. The overall pattern exhibits a classical Persian elegance, while the color palette evokes a sense of both richness and serenity. Despite its fragmentary condition-reflected in areas of visible age and wear-the runner retains an impressive sense of grandeur. Its abrash (color variations in the dye) and worn patina only enhance its historical authenticity and decorative charm. This runner would make a stunning hallway accent, or serve as a statement piece in a layered interior setting. Whether laid on its own or paired with contemporary or antique furnishings, it adds texture, heritage, and a touch of antique Persian splendor to any space. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau's curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
