MoshkAbad Persian Rug
ABOUT THIS PIECE
Renowned for their rough texture, long pile, and blue weft, Vintage Meshkabad rugs are handwoven with durable local top-tier handspun wool in the Meshkabad village, central Iran. Furthermore, these rugs possess a mesmerizing sheen which is achieved through the exemplary dyeing technique employed in the Arak region.
This carpet exhibits Golfarang motifs, depicting Rose bushes with various small differences and intricacies. The word “Golfrang” means European flower in Persian. The motif was generally used in Persia during the Qajar period and was a sign of the melding of the Persian culture of the weavers and European design influences present in Persia at the time.
Woven decades ago, this carpet still maintains its natural lustre and shine due to high-quality materials and tightly woven construction.
SPECIFICATIONS
How it sits in your room.
200 × 135 CM (6'7" × 4'5"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.
About the length of a 3-seater sofa, so it sits just in front of it with the coffee table on it. Floated like this it reads as a deliberate island rather than a rug that came up short.
Only 28 cm of rug would show beyond even a four-seat table, so the chairs would sit off it. This one belongs in a living room or bedroom.
Only 24 cm of rug would show either side of a queen bed. It works, but 45 cm or more looks settled. At the foot of the bed it suits well.
Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
