Antique Large Moud Persian Geometric Rug, Country of Origin: Iran Persia, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional moud carpet, woven in the Khorasan province during the early 20th century, showcases the region’s mastery of complex, all-over patterning. Its substantial dimensions qualify it as a truly large oversized big rug, suitable for anchoring a grand reception room or formal dining hall.
The field is saturated with a rich, yet softened hue, best described as a deep coral color, which provides a vibrant backdrop for the repeating motifs. These stylized elements—reminiscent of the traditional Tree of Life—are rendered in contrasting ivory and subtle shades of sky blue, lending the overall composition a striking visual depth and lightness.
Characteristic of the finest Iranian Persian rugs from this period, the design employs a highly organized vertical repeat, creating a sense of formal symmetry. The intricate, densely packed motifs are framed by a powerful, multi-layered border system dominated by deep indigo and navy blue, which effectively contains the exuberance of the central field.
The superb condition and sophisticated color harmony confirm this piece as a highly desirable example among antique rugs. This Moud offers not only enduring beauty but also a tangible connection to the esteemed weaving traditions of early 20th-century Persia, making it a timeless investment for the discerning collector.
