This Mashad antique rug measures 113 x 311 cm and is composed as a long, narrow field of graphic tribal motifs, tree forms, rosettes, and stepped geometric bands. The dark ground creates contrast for the neutral palette, red accents, brown notes, and traces of blue and blush, giving the design an animated, collected feel. A border of angular emblems and repeating ornament frames the composition with balance. Medium wear has softened the colour and surface, leaving a gentle patina across the piece. Circa 1950 - 1970, it reflects the layered character and visual movement associated with a distinctive Mashad.
