Vintage Persian Meshed: 1960s Grand Medallion Masterpiece
Discover the extraordinary scale and intricate artistry of this hand-knotted Persian Meshed carpet. Crafted in the 1960s, this oversized piece is a remarkable example of mid-century weaving, offering a sophisticated blend of classical structure and a uniquely playful color palette.
Dynamic Design & Rare Border
At the heart of this carpet lies a grand center medallion with elegant finials stemming from each side. The interior is masterfully delineated by arabesques, creating a "shadow" concentric medallion effect through the dense spacing of ornamented floral bouquets.
The most striking feature is the unusual geometric contoured arabesque border. This border showcases heavy abrashes and distinct changes in dye lots, providing a dynamic, one-of-a-kind character that only a genuine hand-knotted vintage piece can possess.
The palette is a rare and refreshing collection of tones:
Cool Neutrals: Pale Sky Blue, Ivory, and Silver
Sophisticated Pinks: Pale Dusty Rose, Bubblegum Pink, and Dusty Pale Mauve
Depth: Rich Chocolate Brown and Pale Cochineal Red
