Hand Knotted Antique Meshkabad Rug, 10′ 8″x4′ 9″, Code: 2216

This stunning vintage Meshkabad rug showcases the remarkable patina and character that only time can bestow, with its beautifully aged appearance creating an ethereal, dreamlike quality that speaks to its 75 years of history. The gentle wear patterns have created subtle variations in the pile that add depth and visual interest to this exceptional piece.

The rug features an intricate all-over Herati design, masterfully executed across its generous runner format. The rich crimson field is adorned with interconnected diamond lattice patterns, delicate floral motifs, and curvilinear designs that flow seamlessly throughout the composition. The deep navy border provides a striking contrast, featuring a classical running vine pattern punctuated with geometric elements and stylized florals in shades of cream, rust, and powder blue. The sophisticated color palette combines deep reds, navy blues, and subtle earth tones that have mellowed beautifully with age.

The exceptional craftsmanship is evident in the precise execution of the intricate patterns and the rug’s overall structural integrity, which has stood the test of time. This piece would be perfectly suited for high-traffic areas such as hallways or entryways, where its durable construction and timeless design can be fully appreciated. The runner format makes it an ideal choice for adding warmth and artistic merit to longer spaces while protecting the underlying flooring.

The pile material is 100% natural fine wool and the foundation is made of natural cotton, representing the highest quality materials traditionally used in Persian rug making. These materials contribute to the rug’s durability and its ability to develop a beautiful patina over time.
