This magnificent Mashad carpet showcases an exquisite central medallion design set against a luxurious deep navy blue field that exemplifies the sophisticated aesthetic and masterful craftsmanship characteristic of this celebrated Persian weaving centre. The composition features a stunning coral-red starburst medallion at its heart, intricately detailed with elaborate geometric patterns and classical Persian motifs, surrounded by an elegant cream-coloured cartouche filled with delicate arabesque designs that radiate outward in perfect symmetry.
The rich navy field surrounding the central medallion is densely populated with an all-over pattern of delicate herati motifs, creating the characteristic “fish in the pond” design that is synonymous with fine Persian weaving. The entire field displays meticulous attention to detail with countless small floral elements rendered in coral, cream, and blue tones that create a sense of refined elegance across the surface. The four corner spandrels feature complementary coral-red sections with elegant teardrop-shaped pendants, each filled with matching geometric and floral patterns that echo the central medallion and create harmonious visual balance throughout the composition.
This large-format carpet is beautifully framed by multiple decorative borders, with the main border featuring a warm cream ground adorned with classical Persian palmettes, rosettes, and arabesque patterns in navy and coral tones. Inner and outer guard borders display intricate geometric and floral patterns in complementary colours that provide perfect finishing detail to the sophisticated central design.
This Mashad carpet exemplifies the refined elegance and exceptional craftsmanship that has made this weaving tradition one of the most prestigious in Persian carpet history, combining sophisticated colour harmony with masterful execution of classical design elements to create a piece of truly museum-quality artistry.

EVERY DESIGN IS UNIQUE
Due to their handcrafted nature, the pattern on our Persian Rugs may show slight imperfections, which are a hallmark of traditional weaving techniques and a sign of its authenticity and craftsmanship.
NATURAL 100% WOOL OR NATURAL FIBRES
All our Persian rugs and carpets are made with 100% wool from sheep or goats belonging to pastoral nomads who inhabit the Zargos Mountain Range in Iran. The flocks are herded during the spring months to the cooler climates of the high mountain plateaus and valleys, where the grass is abundant and rich in minerals. The fleeces grow thick and produce a lustrous wool, fine in texture and when spun, using many natural dyes, which have a high colour saturation.
PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED
All our rugs and carpets are professionally cleaned before we place them on sale in our Narberth showroom.
