This is a stunning top quality vintage Persian Mashad,  hand-knotted in the 1980's and in mint condition.  This traditional floral and medallion rug design is from a region known for its unique and brilliant colors and incredibly detailed designs.  This rug is made from fine quality wool which makes for a dense, soft pile that can handle high traffic. It will continue to last for generations.  The superior craftsmanship is evidenced by the fine details and high knot count or KPSI (knots per square inch).  The intricate floral and vine design creates a rug that is bursting with spring flowers in full bloom on a bright red background with a midnight blue border. The orange central medallion and corner detailing really pops with its turquoise, yellow, lemonade pink, shell pink and mint green details. The medallion has a midnight blue layer before it transitions into the rich red, and all of the layers are abundantly adorned with intricate floral and vine sprays in all of the previously mentioned colors plus countless others, all made from only natural dyes.  The rich midnight blue border has its own complementary larger floral and vine pattern with thin ribbons of colorful small flowers framing the midnight blue. You have to see this rug to truly appreciate its vibrance! Size: 8'5"x11'5"
