Description: Antique, Persian Mashad rug, hand knotted in Persia?of 100% natural wool. This rug is 60+ years old and has medium, wool piles and is in excellent condition, with very little wear for its age.?Beautiful colors made from vegetable dyes with excellent quality. This particular shade of red in the border is a telltale sign that this is a Mashad rug. No holes or repairs, plush and soft. Gorgeous design but not a perfect rectangle. Clean and ready to be enjoyed. Recent embargoes by the U.S. against Iranian goods should cause the value of these rugs to increase.
