A 19th-century Persian Khorassan Moud carpet from around 1870, measuring approximately 396.3 × 609.7 cm (about 13’0″ × 20’0″). The composition is a finely drawn allover floral design over a blue ground, framed by a rose-toned border — a particularly refined color palette and design register for a Khorassan piece of this scale.
Moud is a village in the Khorassan province of northeastern Persia (now Iran), historically known for one of the finest knot counts in eastern Persian carpet production. Moud carpets are typically built around small-scale repeating floral and herati vocabularies, executed at very high knot densities on cotton foundations.
Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
