Antique Mashad Rug 43952

Mashad Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century - Embodying the elegance and sophistication of Persian arabesques, this spectacular Mashad rug features a superb and exceptionally uniform warm camel brown field decorated with sparse vinescrolls that feature flamboyant curves and detailed floral motifs. Ornate guardbands and obscure Prussian blue borders decorated with reciprocating palmettes, unfurled petals and trailing extensions surround the elaborate warm-tone field. Hairline details accentuate the outline of each floral motif, curvaceous petal and jagged serration adding clarity to the complex outlines found in each botanical motif. The sparse composition and filamentous vinescrolls have an airy levity that is boldly contrasted by the polychromatic leaves, splendid petals and delicate floral sprays, which incorporate deep Prussian blues, fiery reds and warm camel brown accents.
