Handmade Vintage Mashhad Carpet 1960s 455 x 295cm (14.9′ x 9.7′)

This outstanding vintage Mashhad carpet is a refined example of mid-20th-century Persian weaving, combining elegance, craftsmanship, and enduring quality. Woven in Mashhad around 1960, the carpet features a luminous cream ground enriched with delicately drawn floral motifs and flowing islimi vines that create a sense of softness and movement across the surface. The composition is framed by a graceful red floral border, flanked by two light blue guard borders that subtly lift and balance the design. The contrast between the calm central field and the warmer border tones gives the carpet a timeless, well-composed presence suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors. Crafted from velvety, high-quality wool, the carpet has a fine weave and a pleasing density underfoot, reflecting the best standards of Mashhad workmanship. An area of historical reweaving is present, carried out to an exceptional standard and almost impossible to detect, ensuring the carpet remains both structurally sound and visually cohesive. Ideal for a dining room, drawing room, or bedroom, this vintage Mashhad carpet offers quiet luxury, decorative harmony, and the confidence of a piece that has aged with dignity and care.
