6'5" x 6'9" Persian Moud Square Rug | Navy Floral Medallion | Ivory Herati Field | Rust Arabesque Border

Nearly square at 6'5" x 6'9", this Persian Moud is made for spaces where a long rectangle would look wrong: under a round table, at the center of a square sitting area or in an open foyer. It is hand-knotted in wool pile on a cotton foundation at approximately 260 to 280 knots per square inch, with a soft, tightly spun wool that has a gentle natural sheen. The rug has never been used, is in excellent condition and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Formats like this are hard to find, and it is a standout among our square Persian rugs.

Design and Motifs

A navy and rust floral medallion sits at the exact center, built around an ivory 8-pointed star rosette and edged with lobed, scalloped outlines, with slender navy pendants reaching toward the ends. Because the rug is close to square, the medallion feels perfectly centered from every side. Around it, the ivory field is filled with the herati, a tight lattice of tiny rosettes and curling leaves that Moud weavers draw with particular care. The rust main border carries navy and ivory arabesques with small palmettes, held between guard stripes of gold and ivory cartouches, and a navy outer band finishes the edge with a clean, dark line.

Ivory, Rust Red and Navy

Ivory and cream form the field, a calm, light ground that makes a near-square rug feel open and spacious. The herati units are picked out in rust red, navy blue, light blue and camel, with touches of rose and olive green, so the field reads as a soft, multicolored texture rather than a plain neutral. Navy deepens in the medallion, where it combines with rust and charcoal to give the center real weight. The main border is a warm rust red, a color that frames the ivory field with energy, while gold and camel brighten the guard stripes. The navy outer band anchors everything, giving the rug a crisp, defined outline on any floor.

Moud Rugs from Eastern Persia

Moud is a small town near Birjand in the Khorasan region of eastern Persia, known for rugs with crisp drawing, good wool on cotton foundations and a signature herati field, often combined with a central medallion as in this piece. Moud weavers are especially comfortable with near-square and square formats, which suit the balanced medallion layout well. Their palettes of ivory, navy and rust are warm without being heavy, making them easy to place in both traditional and modern interiors. Browse our Persian Moud rugs to compare designs. This one puts a navy floral medallion at the heart of an ivory herati field, framed in rust and navy on 4 nearly equal sides.
