Antique Moud Room Size Wool Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional Persian piece showcases the sophisticated weaving tradition of the Khorasan region. Its generous dimensions classify it as a true room size rug, ideal for anchoring a formal living space or grand dining area.
The field presents a remarkably soft celadon-blue ground, a subtle hue that provides a tranquil backdrop for the intricate pictorial design. This delicate use of the blue color palette is beautifully balanced by the warm, sun-faded ochre and camel tones defining the border and the central motifs.
The primary pattern is a sublime interpretation of the Tree of Life motif, featuring stylized cypress trees, blossoming flowers, and pairs of elegant birds. While the design is highly centralized, the dense arrangement of flora and fauna across the entire surface creates an effective allover design that avoids heavy negative space, characteristic of the finest Moud artistry.
Woven from high-quality wool, this textile retains the superb knot density and luxurious handle expected of 1930s Persian production. As a significant example among antique rugs, this Moud offers not only exceptional decorative value but also a tangible connection to the golden age of Persian weaving.
