Old Meschad

There is only one rug like this one in wine red: it brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. A knot density of around 250,000 knots per m² makes the painstaking work visible – right down to the finely worked details. At 376 × 284 cm it is well placed as a rug for generous living spaces. It shows to equally good effect in a reception area. Colouring and texture lend the room a homely atmosphere – with a character no other rug shares.

Origin

In the eastern part of Persia lies the region of Khorasan (land of the rising sun), with Meschad (also Maschad, Meschhed or Meshad) as its capital. Originally the Timurid capital of Herat, which lies in today's Afghanistan, was also part of this region. The typical patterns of rugs from Meschad go back to the 19th and 20th centuries and are made up of small-scale elements that seem to repeat endlessly, sometimes arranged around medallions.

This Old Meschad is around 66 years old and a genuine connoisseur's piece.

Material

The pile of this Old Meschad was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties: thanks to the wool's natural oil content, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally protected against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound.

The weft and warp threads of this Old Meschad are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation weave.

Condition

You are not the first to take a liking to this Old Meschad. It had owners before you who valued and used it. It was knotted around 1960. We have cleaned it thoroughly and lovingly restored it. It is therefore – despite its age – in very good condition.

A note on the photos

The colours of this rug change depending on which side you look at it from. It all depends on whether the light falls with the nap of the pile or against it. That is why we have photographed the rug from several angles.
