Rare Machad prayer rug, Iran, circa 1880-1900.
Hand-knotted wool from the Qajar dynasty;
density: approximately 360,000 knots per square meter, in superb condition.
Its dimensions are 133 cm wide by 227 cm long.
Its size and weight make it a decorative piece;
this rug could not have been used for religious services due to its weight and density.
Muslims typically use lightweight rugs for prayer, rugs that are easy to carry.

The design is typical of the Qajar dynasty, the "Empire of Roses."
Why is the rose so constantly present in these designs, as in Persian art in general? It remains a vision of paradise;
the large, flower-filled niche invites contemplation.
This beautiful, heavy, and thick carpet comes from the province of Mashhad.
With its rare, luminous colors, this intricately crafted piece deserves a prime location; a wall would showcase it to its best advantage. Mashhad is the second largest city in Iran, located in the northeast of the country.
It is nicknamed "the city of a thousand faces."
This carpet is in very good condition.
It features a design of large green palm fronds supporting a blue vase filled with roses and other flowers, like a tree of life.
The composition stands out against a powerful yellow contained within a niche and an electric blue covering the field. The intensity of the colors makes this carpet joyful;
the pink borders are exquisitely crafted. Small carnations follow two meandering water lines, bringing the desired sense of eternity to this type of piece. Fine...
Undulating, floral scrolls and vases filled with bouquets of roses.
The colors are remarkably fresh and vibrant, bringing a modern touch to this 19th-century piece.
The fringes are varied but neat. This composition evokes a painting on canvas, so generous are the colors.
In very fine collector's condition, this rug was hand-knotted in the 19th century during the reign of the Qajar dynasty.
The Qajar dynasty (Qājār, Qadjar, Qajar, Persian: قاجار) was a Turkmen dynasty that ruled Iran from 1786 to 1925.
This rug has been professionally and ecologically cleaned.
Dimensions: Width: 133 cm (52") x Length: 227 cm (89") Thickness: 1.5 cm
