A magnificent, room-size Persian Mashhad carpet — hand-knotted in the revered weaving city of Mashhad, in the Khorasan region of northeast Iran. Long celebrated for producing carpets of exceptional scale, durability, and decorative grandeur, Mashhad has earned a reputation as one of Persia’s most distinguished weaving centres — and this piece stands as a superb example of the region’s finest traditions. Woven with premium hand-spun wool over a strong, enduring cotton foundation, the pile is dense, plush, and deeply resilient — built to stand the test of time while offering a luxurious feel underfoot. This is a carpet designed not only to adorn your home, but to be cherished and passed down through generations. A commanding symmetrical medallion — glowing in ivory, sky blue, and warm terracotta — anchors a rich, deep navy field brimming with life and detail. Elegant vase-and-urn motifs, scrolling floral vines, and delicate stylised birds unfold across the field, each element rendered with remarkable clarity and artistry. The wide, multi-layered border perfectly frames the composition, repeating the iconic vase theme in vibrant madder red, cream, and gold — creating a sense of balance, harmony, and timeless grandeur that is unmistakably Mashhad. At 370 cm × 290 cm, this generously proportioned carpet makes a breathtaking centrepiece for a substantial living room, formal dining space, grand hallway, or principal bedroom. Its deep, saturated tones bring instant warmth and richness to traditional interiors, while its refined craftsmanship and striking presence make it equally impressive as a statement piece in contemporary settings. Woven entirely by hand over many months by skilled master artisans, this heirloom carpet represents countless hours of patience, skill, and devotion — a true work of art that carries within it the soul and heritage of its makers.
We will bring this rug to your home to see against your own floor and light. There is no obligation to buy.

Look closer
This piece is woven at approx. 190 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 3,159,991 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 12 months.
How that is worked out: 146 in × 114 in × 190 knots per sq. in. ≈ 3,159,991 — that is 370 × 290 cm converted to inches, because knot density is counted per square inch.
Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.
