Moud Persian Rugs
This magnificent Semi Antique Moud Persian rug measuring 10'11" x 3'7" presents the timeless Herati pattern in a spectacular palette of rich red, navy blue, cream, ivory, brown, and black. The elongated runner proportions make this piece exceptionally versatile for hallways, galleries, or as a striking accent beneath console tables. Dating back 40 to 60 years, this hand-knotted wool masterpiece carries the refined elegance that only comes with decades of graceful aging, its colors mellowed to perfection while maintaining their vibrant depth.
The Moud region in Khorasan province has been renowned for centuries as a center of exceptional Persian rug weaving, where master artisans have passed down their techniques through generations. Located along the ancient Silk Road, Moud weavers developed a distinctive style that combines the precision of city workshop rugs with the authentic character of village craftsmanship. The asymmetrical Persian knots used in this rug create the dense, durable foundation that has allowed Moud rugs to be treasured in Persian palaces and homes for over 400 years. This particular region's weavers became famous for their ability to execute complex geometric patterns with mathematical precision while infusing each piece with subtle artistic variations.
The Herati pattern, also known as Mahi (fish) design, represents one of Persia's most celebrated motifs, symbolizing abundance and protection. The intricate diamond medallions surrounded by curved rosettes and small fish-like elements create a mesmerizing rhythm across the rug's surface, while the bold border frames showcase traditional palmettes and guard stripes. The deep red field serves as a canvas for navy blue and cream accents, creating dramatic contrast that draws the eye into the pattern's sophisticated geometry. Each element of this design carries symbolic meaning rooted in ancient Persian poetry and folklore, where the fish represent life's flow and the diamonds symbolize the gardens of paradise.
The rich color story of burgundy-red field anchored by navy blue outlines and cream highlights creates a palette that speaks to both traditional Persian aesthetics and contemporary interior design sensibilities. The warm brown undertones and strategic black accents add depth and sophistication, while the ivory details provide luminous contrast that makes the pattern dance with life. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its perfect balance of boldness and refinement, transforming ordinary hallways into gallery-worthy passages. Los Angeles Home of Rugs takes pride in offering this exceptional example of Khorasan weaving, where every knot tells the story of Persian artistic heritage passed down through centuries of master craftsmen.
