8'1" x 11'11" Signed Persian Mashad Rug | Saber | Ivory Allover Floral
This 8'1" x 11'11" Persian Mashad carries the woven signature of Saber in its border, hand-knotted at 420 to 450 KPSI in wool with silk highlights on a cotton foundation. An ivory field filled with palmettes and flowering vines sits inside a deep navy border, and the rug is in excellent condition, never used, with a certificate of authenticity. If your room calls for a little more width, compare it with our 9x12 Persian rugs.
Please Note About the Photographs:
The light lines and wrinkles you may see in some photos are fold marks from storage and shipping, not wear. They relax once the rug lies flat, and the rug is steamed and pressed before it ships.
Design and Motifs
There is no medallion here. Palmettes, rosettes and small blossoms are linked by fine curling vines that spread evenly over the whole ivory field, so the pattern looks complete from any side of the room. The navy main border repeats larger floral heads between scrolling stems, and two cartouches woven into the border hold the Saber signature, framed by camel and blue guard stripes.
Ivory, Navy and Burgundy with Soft Accents
The ivory ground keeps the rug light and open, which suits rooms with darker wood floors or rich upholstery. Dark navy and deep burgundy carry the border and the larger palmettes, while camel beige and light brown warm the guard stripes. Soft blue, olive green, muted gold and soft pink fill the smaller flowers, and charcoal outlines sharpen every leaf, so the field reads clearly up close and stays calm from across the room.
Woven in Mashad, Northeastern Persia
Mashad workshops in the Khorasan region are known for elegant floral designs and soft, well-spun wool, and signed pieces like this one came from looms where the master put his name to the finished work. Browse more from this weaving center in our Persian Mashad rugs collection. This signed Saber piece, with its fine knot count and touches of silk, shows that tradition at a high level.
