Antique Moud Persian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving represents the pinnacle of Khorasan craftsmanship, showcasing the sophisticated design traditions inherent to Iranian Persian rugs. The Moud workshop is renowned for its precise knotting and complex, highly detailed patterning. The composition features an elegant, densely populated field set against a subtle, luminous ground color, typical of ivory beige cream hues that have softened beautifully with age. The intricate all-over design is a masterful display of stylized palmettes, arabesques, and delicate vines, placing it firmly within the tradition of floral rugs. Dominating the center is a striking, deeply saturated diamond medallion rendered in rich madder and burgundy tones, providing a dramatic contrast to the pale field.
