Antique Persian Mood rug. Size: 9'2" x 11'9".
Antique Moud Persian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving represents the pinnacle of Khorasan craftsmanship, showcasing the sophisticated design traditions inherent to Iranian Persian rugs. The Moud workshop is renowned for its precise knotting and complex, highly detailed patterning.
The composition features an elegant, densely populated field set against a subtle, luminous ground color, typical of ivory beige cream hues that have softened beautifully with age. The intricate all-over design is a masterful display of stylized palmettes, arabesques, and delicate vines, placing it firmly within the tradition of floral rugs.
Dominating the center is a striking, deeply saturated diamond medallion rendered in rich madder and burgundy tones, providing a dramatic contrast to the pale field. This central motif is framed by spandrels and a powerful, multi-layered border featuring bold indigo reserves and stylized cartouches. Given its substantial dimensions, this piece functions perfectly as a foundational element in grand interiors, qualifying it as one of our premier room size rugs.
Woven during the height of the Persian weaving revival, this Moud rug is not merely a floor covering but a piece of textile history. Its excellent condition, fine weave, and classic design integrity make it a highly desirable example among discerning collectors of antique rugs.
