Antique Moud Small Scatter Size Wool Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional Persian piece, woven in the late Qajar era, presents a rare example of a Moud textile rendered in a small scatter size. Its detailed construction and refined palette mark it as a high-status weaving intended for private devotion or display.
The primary field is dominated by a luminous, aged ivory color, providing a perfect counterpoint to the deep indigo and rich madder red found in the complex borders. The natural wool foundation ensures a soft patina that only time can bestow upon textiles of this vintage, enhancing the visual depth of the central composition.
The central design features a classic Tree of Life motif rising from a stylized vase, framed by a mihrab arch. This intricate composition is filled with delicate blossoms and stylized birds, classifying it among the finest examples of floral rugs from the Khorasan region.
The technical mastery evident in the tight knotting and precise delineation of the motifs confirms its quality as a highly collectible piece. For those seeking authentic, high-quality antique rugs with exceptional provenance, this Moud offers a compelling investment in textile history.
