Mashad / 18882

This Mashad antique rug measures 12' 0" x 19' 8", with a generous field softened by age and a palette that has settled into faded sky blue, grey, ivory, and muted red. Floral sprays and small rosettes drift across the composition, held by a restrained border that remains visible despite the heavy wear. The surface shows pronounced distress, with a low, silvery patina and gentle abrasion that lend the piece a quiet depth. Circa 1910 - 1925, it carries the hushed presence of a well-loved Mashad in wool. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
